{"product_id":"9781468546583","title":"Long Journey To Destiny","description":"Hitler’s first conquests – Austria, the Sudeten region of Czechoslovakia, the demilitarized Rhineland – were bloodless. His first bloody strike east crushed Poland. To the west? On May 10, 1940, the Wehrmacht strikes The Netherlands which Hitler expects will capitulate within a day or two. He is mistaken. Grebbe Line defenders exhibit legendary Dutch stubbornness, Hitler’s airborne troops drop onto Rotterdam and The Hague – and meet fierce opposition, and outnumbered and outgunned Dutch troops change – unknowingly at the time – the course of WWII and world history. A stout-hearted queen and a Carmelite priest stand up to Nazism, and resistance fighters’ cunning and courage prove lethal for some of history’s lesser-known bad guys. Two girls emigrate from Romanian farms to Paris and then Amsterdam and make life-altering choices. A young American employee of a global steamship company finds himself swept into this maelstrom. This history-rich saga provides perspectives little known to Americans.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130128318704,"sku":"9781468546583","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468546583_p0.jpg?v=1763695661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468546583","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
