{"product_id":"9780571282401","title":"Storming the Eagle's Nest: Hitler's War in the Alps","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Fall of France  in June 1940 to Hitler's suicide in April 1945, the swastika flew from  the peaks of the High Savoy in the western Alps to the passes above  Ljubljana in the east. The Alps as much as Berlin were the heart of the  Third Reich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Yes,' Hitler declared  of his headquarters in the Bavarian Alps, 'I have a close link to this  mountain. Much was done there, came about and ended there; those were  the best times of my life . . . My great plans were forged there.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith  great authority and verve, Jim Ring tells the story of how the war was  conceived and directed from the Fuhrer's mountain retreat, how all the  Alps bar Switzerland fell to Fascism, and how Switzerland herself became  the Nazi's banker and Europe's spy centre. How the Alps in France,  Italy and Yugoslavia became cradles of resistance, how the range proved  both a sanctuary and a death-trap for Europe's Jews - and how the whole  war culminated in the Allies' descent on what was rumoured to be  Hitler's Alpine Redoubt, a Bavarian mountain fortress.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173175673072,"sku":"9780571282401","price":13.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571282401_p0.jpg?v=1763718766","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571282401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
