{"product_id":"9781472801548","title":"US Armored Units in the North African and Italian Campaigns 1942-45","description":"The Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO) saw  the first operational deployment of US armoured divisions in World War  II, and the experience proved chastening for the 1st Armored Division  when it suffered defeat at the hands of Rommel’s Afrika Korps at the  battle of Kasserine Pass. This title covers the organization of these  early US armored divisions, as well as the independent tank and tank  destroyer battalions that accompanied them. It details the evolution of  US armoured warfare tactics and doctrine, learned from the difficult  experiences of North Africa, and illustrates how they were used  elsewhere in the Mediterranean, particularly in the Italian Peninsula.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177962127600,"sku":"9781472801548","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472801548_p0.jpg?v=1763598829","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472801548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
