{"product_id":"9780007542550","title":"1914: History in an Hour","description":"Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.In 1914 the world changed. Europe’s great powers were dragged, one by one, into a war by Serbian conflict which affected very few of them directly. At least it would resemble the short sharp battles of the previous century, many thought – fought with military bands, horsemen, and swift victories. But 1914 proved to be different, a watershed, as old notions of war were trampled in the mud.‘1914: History in an Hour’ is the indispensable overview of the year that marked the end of the Belle Époque and the shocking birth of modern mechanised warfare. It became a war of unimaginable horror, fought with terrifying new weapons that produced death on an industrial scale, a war that involved so many nations and reached into the fabric of their societies. 1914 shaped the First World War, and the years beyond.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068986245360,"sku":"9780007542550","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780007542550_p0.jpg?v=1763616435","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780007542550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
