{"product_id":"2940157859831","title":"We Were Amateur Soldiers: How the Great Generation Changed the Face of America","description":"Of the 16 million Americans who served their country during World War II, fewer than 900,000 still survive. Martin Olsen is one of the survivors, and he has a story to tell. It blends the history of a generation that was born during the Great Depression, fought and won a world war, and went on to rebuild a society that launched new industries and sent men to the moon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Olsen considers himself a lucky man--an amateur soldier who fought in the European theater and became part of the Great Generation. This is more than another WW II memoir. We Were Amateur Soldiers shows us a man who, through his faith, self-confidence, and force of will, emerged from the horrors of war to grow his father's small business into a market leader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough it's Marty's life, it's also America's story.","brand":"Windrusher Hall Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075405824240,"sku":"2940157859831","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157859831_p0.jpg?v=1764110004","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157859831","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
