Man finds love, strength, and purpose in one of history's most dramatic and tragic attempted evacuations of women and children in the midst of WWII in Vanishing Breed.
Everything has always come easy for Swedish-born and American-raised Hank Oscarson. The Lexington, Kentucky thoroughbred breeder and derby track veterinarian seems to have it all at the age of 35. All but passion for anything other than horses and expanding his financial empire. Even America's trail of blood and sacrifice by December, 1944 fails to stir patriotism for his adopted country.
A half thought out scheme to slip into Germany's East Prussia to retrieve a stallion and mare before one of the world's finest all-around horse breeds vanishes results in Hank being ensnared in a massive refugee flight from attacking Russians.
He finds love, raw strength, and burning purpose in one of history's most dramatic and tragic attempted evacuations of women and children in the midst of war.
Only their courageous Trakehner horses can save them from being raped, murdered, frozen, drowned or starved before reaching the perceived security of the Reich or Allied Forces.
