Scheherazade Cat - The Story of a War Hero is an example of how love, loyalty, and kindness can shine through the darkness of war, and restore faith in the human spirit.
In the midst of wartime horror, sometimes people and events come together and give some hope that, in the end, the positive aspects of human nature will triumph.
This is the true story of a United States Army chemical weapons officer and Scheherazade, a calico kitten from Failaka Island, Kuwait. He met her while performing a mission there during the Persian Gulf War. Scheherazade was playing with a small bomb during this meeting, but fortunately it did not detonate. Seeing this alerted the officer to the presence of other mines, allowing his squad to retreat safely. Recognizing that this encounter may have saved their lives, he adopted Scheherazade and brought her to America.
This is a simple tale about a chance encounter, but it is also a heartwarming lesson that showing kindness and loyalty to a small creature in the midst of extreme danger brings out the best in us. For this reason, the message of this book is a positive one that demonstrates the value of compassion and goodness.
