{"product_id":"9780968280584","title":"His Soldier's Coat","description":"\"He did not choose the Freedom that existed mere inches from him, so close he could drink it in with every breath. Instead, Gabriel Ryan turned towards the onrush of people that crowded around him-a gathering of lost and dying souls trapped in a place that had seen revelry for scant hours, then had borne witness to absolute horror.\" The Knights Of Columbus Fire of 1942 in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, took the lives of ninety-nine poor souls, with a further one hundred and nine severely wounded by the flames. The dead and wounded were comprised of the following branches of the Armed Forces of several countries: The Royal Canadian Air Force; The Canadian Army; The United States Army; The Royal Navy; The Royal Canadian Naval Reserve; The Merchant Navy; The Newfoundland Militia, on home ground and hardest hit. This catastrophic event, which justice inquiries doubtlessly pinpointed to the work of German espionage, still reverberates throughout wartime history. This is the true story of a 21-year-old Newfoundland Militia Private who found himself inside this raging inferno one wintry December night, based upon his private journals.","brand":"Mulberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013513593072,"sku":"9780968280584","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780968280584_p0.jpg?v=1763878941","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780968280584","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
