{"product_id":"9781532025501","title":"Wild Blue Ponders: War","description":"Forged in conflict, the United States of America has been at war in one form or another for over two hundred years, and at peace for just seventeen. Within seventy-eight mostly undeclared wars, over a million souls have sadly perished.  In a historical anthology, novelist Max Blue shares forty-nine chapters from his twelve published novels set against the backdrop of America’s wars. Divided into six parts, Blue’s stories detail diverse battles that include World War I; the economic war of the Great Depression; World War II; the Civil Rights War, Korean War, and Cold War; academic wars; and the ongoing drug wars that still plague America today. His fascinating tales share a glimpse into a time when President Woodrow Wilson reluctantly led his country into a genocidal European war, thousands of World War I veterans desperately sought ways to survive and feed their families, ships were torpedoed in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and North Korean troops crossed the thirty-eighth parallel to invade South Korea.  Wild Blue Ponders shares a diverse collection of short tales extracted from the works of an American novelist that detail the effects and aftermath of war through the eyes of fictional characters.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144681668848,"sku":"9781532025501","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781532025501_p0.jpg?v=1763745859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781532025501","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
