{"product_id":"9781780962061","title":"Red SAM: The SA-2 Guideline Anti-Aircraft Missile","description":"The Russian SA-2, nicknamed \"Red SAM,” is history's dominant antiaircraft missile. In 1960 it famously downed Gary Powers' U-2 spyplane, and two years later it was one of the missiles deployed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which almost sparked a nuclear showdown between America and the USSR. The SA-2 was also deployed in Vietnam, North Korea, Egypt, and even the Gulf War. Using photographs, color artwork, and rare accounts from the weapon's designers, Steven J Zaloga examines the missile's development, linking this to its massive impact on Cold War air campaigns, and investigates the design changes that have helped the SA-2 stand the test of time.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161499189488,"sku":"9781780962061","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780962061_p0.jpg?v=1769891379","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780962061","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
