{"product_id":"9780752479354","title":"The Final Whistle: The Great War in Fifteen Players","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of fifteen men killed in the Great War. All played rugby for one London club; none lived to hear the final whistle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRugby brought them together; rugby led the rush to war. They came from Britain and the empire to fight in every theatre and service, among them a poet, playwright and perfumer. Some were decorated and died heroically; others fought and fell quietly. Together their stories paint a portrait in miniature of the entire war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1879, when British soldiers fought in Afghanistan as they do today, Rosslyn Park has no war memorial. An old press cutting gave numbers – 350 served, 72 died – but no names. So began a quest to rediscover these men and capture their lives, from their vanished Edwardian youth and vigour, to the war they fought and how they died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spellmount, Limited Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015494090992,"sku":"9780752479354","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780752479354_p0.jpg?v=1763637081","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780752479354","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
