{"product_id":"9781783034130","title":"Dover and Folkestone During the Great War","description":"For centuries the south coast of Kent – in particular the ports of Dover and Folkestone - have been England’s front line, as her enemies have planned invasions and launched attacks from just across the Channel. During the Great War of 1914-1918 these two towns were again vulnerable to enemy action, and they played a vital role in war effort. As this well-researched and highly illustrated book shows, the people of the Channel Ports suffered from bombardment by air and sea. They also played a significant role in the experience of the men who fought in the Great War. For the humble soldier, this stretch of coastline had a personal meaning - it represented ‘Blighty’. It might be the last thing the departing Tommy would see of his country and, for a soldier returning wounded or on leave, the White Cliffs on the horizon were his first glimpse of home.","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164405874928,"sku":"9781783034130","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783034130_p0.jpg?v=1769891732","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783034130","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
