DOWNLOAD EBOOKExperience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! (Booklist) Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

The Middle Ages present an era of superstition and tumult, where amidst the chaos of the Black Plague, felines emerged as unlikely allies. Their presence in castles not only kept the rodent population in check but also provided a silent comfort to their human counterparts.

World Wars brought unprecedented horrors, yet amidst the carnage, these brave felines provided solace on the home front and aboard warships. Each chapter delves deeper into modern conflicts, shedding light on how these remarkable animals have adapted to changing terrains and warfare technology, all while maintaining their invaluable role. This meticulously researched book, richly peppered with historical anecdotes and veteran accounts, invites readers to rediscover history from a feline perspective. Immerse yourself in the page-turning saga of survival, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of these extraordinary cat heroes who have silently stood beside soldiers, sharing in both their battles and their peace. Whether you are a history enthusiast or a cat lover, Whiskers in War: The Unsung Feline Heroes of History promises to be a compelling addition to your literary collection–a homage to the small, whiskered warriors who have left an indelible paw print on our past.
