{"product_id":"9781786937667","title":"Pals War, The Battle of Loos","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollow Major Daniel Byrne on his journey both through the trenches and upwards through the ranks of the British Army as he leads his fearless band of ‘Knaves', formed as a crack special unit made up of childhood friends from the mining towns of the north east of England. AAG Whitehead's Pals War: the Battle of Loos is a personal insight into life on the frontline of the First World War, centred on a group of young men who grew up together and now form a unique and elite band of fighters tasked with covert operations and intelligence gathering on the frontline during 1915.The Battle of Loos is not a book of deliberately graphic detail but a more touching and intimate account, a study of one man's experience which fully evokes the camaraderie of this group of men, although the horror of the war is never far away. The book also offers a fascinating portrait of the life of ordinary French people behind the lines and their interaction with the British soldiers, which contrasts dramatically with the carnage of the frontline. A none too predictable tale for this subject matter, The Battle of Loos is both different and captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austin-Macauley Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032519327984,"sku":"9781786937667","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786937667_p0.jpg?v=1763740082","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786937667","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
