{"product_id":"9781783378500","title":"Into Battle: A Seventeen-Year-Old Joins Kitchener's Army","description":"Written well over 90 years ago while the experiences of youth were still fresh in the author’s mind, this is the story of a seventeen-year-old boy from the time he joined Kitchener’s Army, as one of the first hundred thousand in 1914, until he found himself in hospital - an officer with the Military Cross - recovering from his last wound, on the day of the Armistice, 11 November, 1918.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn no way a formal record of the great and terrible events it describes, this is a purely personal, almost private, account.  It is a plain, unvarnished tale - and even more effective for that - of heroism, and the horror peculiar to trench warfare of the First World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterspersed with moments of pity, humor and a deep response to natural beauty and peace out of the firing line, it is a record, which in its details, direct simplicity and manner of telling, comes nearer to the truth than many more ambitious accounts.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183362916592,"sku":"9781783378500","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783378500_p0.jpg?v=1769892018","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783378500","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
