Chapters include: Habitat, Origin and History, Anatomical, Physical and Mental Qualities, Blood lines, Closely Related Breeds, Purchasing; Studs and Clubs, and Usefulness for Cavalry. The book is illustrated with approximately 180 black & white photographs and an account of Brown's 1929 overland journey to Baghdad in which Raswan panied him. It contains a copious bibliography of over 100 books and ancient manuscripts, including nearly everything in the Arabian Horse Owners Foundation's famous W.R.

First published in 1936, a second edition of 295 pages was issued by the Jay Shuler Co. in 1967, that includes a 23 page supplement with a biography of Brown and the descendants of the horses bred at his famous Maynesboro Stud in New Hampshire. There is also a section on endurance riding by noted equestrians, Linda Tellington, Alexander Mackay-Smith, Jack Humphrey, and Wendell Robie. Reviewed by Andrew K.
