«Smoky the Brave» is Damien Lewis's nonfiction book about a World War II dog, published by Quercus in paperback (320 pages, in English).
It tells the true story of Smoky, a small Yorkshire terrier found in New Guinea in 1944 and adopted by Corporal Bill Wynne. She took part in the Pacific War, warned of an attack, parachuted with her unit and laid a cable in Luzon to restore communications. She was the US Army's first therapy dog.
Published in 2019, the book recounts the Pacific campaign. Smoky earned eight battle stars and received the PDSA Certificate of Valour or Devotion in 2011.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author, it will appeal to readers of military history and true animal stories.
