{"product_id":"9781780966533","title":"British Redcoat 1740-93","description":"During this period, the British army earned itself a formidable reputation as a fighting force. However, due to its role as a police force at home, and demonisation by American propaganda, the army was viewed as little removed from a penal institution run by aristocratic dilettantes. This view, still held by many today, is challenged by Stuart Reid, who paints a picture of an increasingly professional force. This was an important time of change and improvement for the British Army, and British Redcoat 1740-1793 fully brings this out in its comprehensive examination of the lives, conditions and experiences of the late 18th-century infantryman.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131158348016,"sku":"9781780966533","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780966533_p0.jpg?v=1769891134","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780966533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
