{"product_id":"9781409028895","title":"Whose Side Are You On?","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the late 1960s, Northern Ireland has been mired in violence. Yet it has had seen more than its fair share of sporting heroes - from footballer George Best, through snooker champion Alex Higgins, to boxer Barry McGuigan. Life was tough for these working-class lads, but they could shine on the football field or find refuge at the town boxing club. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor other kids, like the young Teddy Jamieson, a knockabout in the back-lanes was as good as it got, but at least they had their heroes. Watching McGuigan on telly, Teddy could feel proud to be Northern Irish. But sport - like everything else in Northern Ireland - could quickly turn nasty when politics were involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary journey through sport and the Troubles has it all: from Olympic gold-medals to Gaelic football; from death threats to reconciliations. Then there is Teddy's own story, as we learn how the age-old playground question 'Whose side are you on?' doesn't always have an easy answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Adult Trade Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152982786288,"sku":"9781409028895","price":21.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781409028895_p0.jpg?v=1763720270","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781409028895","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
