{"product_id":"9780595313310","title":"When Minutes Seemed Like Hours: Vietnam Turned Boys into Men and Strangers into Brothers","description":"It was the 1960's, a tumultuous time in the world. Hippies had captured the imagination of some espousing \"love not war\" as their anthem, while other young men and women were thrown into a living hell as evidenced on the evening news which for the first time brought war into the living rooms of ordinary families.\u003cp\u003eSome boys, young and eager for adventure, who also felt an obligation to serve their country, volunteered to participate in history. Dom Russo was one of those men, but he wasn't prepared for the roller coaster ride his life was about to take. The story captures the life of a young man leaving home for the first time, and then suddenly being confronted with the realities of armed combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVietnam was the catalyst that turned boys into men and total strangers into brothers who were willing to do anything to protect each other and everything to defend our freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wasn't all bad though. Dom and his friends engineered and enjoyed some wild schemes interspersed between the nightly bombings and missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023914057968,"sku":"9780595313310","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780595313310_p0.jpg?v=1763722907","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780595313310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
