A Baboon in World War I tells the story of the baboon Jackie, who, as a mascot, witnessed the war at close range alongside the South African 3rd Infantry.
From the baboon's point of view, the reader gets insights into the madness of a war that not only left external wounds on the soldiers. The reader gets an unconventional insight into the abysses and turmoil of the soul in war. A lot has been written about the war - but never like this.
