{"product_id":"9781610351263","title":"Stories of Service, Volume 2: Valley Veterans Remember World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War","description":"Perfectly blending a vast historical scope with intensely individual viewpoints, this stirring collection of stories brings a man-on-the-ground perspective to a huge range of military history, with stories of a quarter-century of war from nearly every corner of the earth, including Europe; the Pacific; mainland Asia; a tense confrontation in Guantanamo Bay during the Cuban Missile Crisis; POW camps in Germany, Japan, and California; and the San Joaquin Valley home front from the 1940s through the 1960s. These 72 highly individualized narratives of combat, military service, and the personal sacrifices of war--penned by ordinary San Joaquin Valley residents and buttressed with more than 100 personal photographs--bring commentaries from soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, nurses, ambulance drivers, and civilians. In simple, direct, and authentic language, with stories both horrific and touching, \"\"Stories of Service: Volume 2\"\" perfectly illustrates the personal side of war.","brand":"Linden Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134249779440,"sku":"9781610351263","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781610351263_p0.jpg?v=1763836858","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781610351263","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
