{"product_id":"2940151905343","title":"The Diary of Private AA Bridges","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlf Bridges, a modest, unremarkable Hertfordshire lad, was rejected for military service several times before in 1916 the Army finally decided he was good enough to fight for his country. It was a late decision but a wise one, because in the face of danger, Private Alfred Arthur Bridges proved to be as brave as a giant. Throughout his time serving in South Africa and the wastes of Siberia, Private Bridges kept a diary, supplemented by a collection of newspaper and regimental magazine articles of the period. Always modest and unassuming, often quietly amusing, it offers a vivid picture of the horrors and hardships of the Russian campaign and a fascinating perspective on a long-ago war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mereo Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080733933808,"sku":"2940151905343","price":2.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151905343_p0.jpg?v=1764014987","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151905343","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
