{"product_id":"9780983433668","title":"We Were Amateur Soldiers: How the Great Generation Changed the Face of America","description":"Of the 16 million Americans who served their country during World War II, fewer than 900,000 still survive. Martin Olsen is one of the survivors, and he has a story to tell. It blends the history of a generation that was born during the Great Depression, fought and won a world war, and went on to rebuild a society that launched new industries and sent men to the moon.\u003cp\u003eMartin Olsen considers himself a lucky man-an amateur soldier who fought in the European theater and became part of the Great Generation. This is more than another WW II memoir. We Were Amateur Soldiers shows us a man who, through his faith, self-confidence, and force of will, emerged from the horrors of war to grow his father's small business into a market leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough it's Marty's life, it's also America's story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Windrusher Hall Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49988792975600,"sku":"9780983433668","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983433668","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
