This book is a clarion call for revolution in the way breeders view, and breed, Egyptian Arabian Horses.  Philippe Paraskevas examines in great detail the E.A.O. bloodpool - its different strains and sire lines, its antecedents and potential.  He delves into the complexities of reading pedigrees, describing strains, sub-strains and horse families as well as the benefits of preservation breeding and outcrossing.  This is a breeder's guide to the detailed genealogies of different strains as this writer choses to read the vertical charts. 

The author takes a critical look at the effect of the fragmentation of what once was simply the Desert Arabian into a multitude of sub-categories as defined by a variety of associations of breeders.  He defines the principles and plan of action required to ensure the rebirth of the Desert Arabian and gives us hope that there is still a way forward.
