{"product_id":"2940169465860","title":"Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship","description":"\u003cb\u003ea loyal warrior. a dying cause. an epic race for salvation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the Confederacy felt itself slipping beneath the Union juggernaut in late 1864, the South launched a desperate counteroffensive to force a standoff. Its secret weapon? A state-of-the-art raiding ship whose mission was to sink the U.S. merchant fleet. The raider's name was \u003ci\u003eShenandoah\u003c\/i\u003e, and her executive officer was Conway Whittle, a twenty-four-year-old warrior. Whittle would share command with a dark and brooding veteran of the seas, Capt. James Waddell, and together with their crew, they would spend nearly a year destroying dozens of Union ships, all while continually dodging the enemy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, in August of 1865, a British ship revealed the shocking truth to the men of \u003ci\u003eShenandoah\u003c\/i\u003e: The war had been over for months, and they were now being hunted as pirates. What ensued was an incredible 15,000-mile journey to the one place the crew hoped to find sanctuary, only to discover that their fate would depend on how they answered a single question. Wondrously evocative, LAST FLAG DOWN is a riveting story of courage, nobility, and rare comradeship forged in the quest to achieve the impossible.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47097963675888,"sku":"2940169465860","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169465860_p0.jpg?v=1763683410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169465860","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
