War Dog
by Henry Treece
Buy the book from:
Bran, a trained Celtic war dog, experiences the Roman invasion of Britain through scent, sound, loyalty and violence. His first world is tied to British resistance around Caratacus, but defeat separates him from familiar handlers and places him among Roman soldiers. The change of masters turns conquest into an immediate struggle over trust and survival.
The dog’s viewpoint allows Treece to move between British and Roman societies without making either side fully comprehensible or morally simple. Bran travels from the campaigns in Britain towards Gaul and Rome, encountering military discipline, spectacle and the reach of empire. The novel offers younger readers an unusual perspective on the invasion of AD 43 and its consequences.
