{"product_id":"9781843514022","title":"All Valiant Dust: An Irishman Abroad","description":"For many of its participants, the Second World War was the most intense period of their lives - with horizons widened by grief, strangeness and excitement. Peter Ross, graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, to become a troop commander in Montgomery's Eighth Army. He took ship to Egypt and was active in the Western Desert campaign, concluding with El Alamein, a memorable and historic battle which marked the turning-point of the war. Hospitalized and awarded the Military Cross, Ross returned to take part in the D-Day landings, the liberation of Brussels and the advance on the Rhine .All Valiant Dust is a young Irishman's experience of war, vividly recounted with compassion and humour. Its painfully realized remembrance of the din and tempo of desert conflict, and much besides, documents extraordinary times.","brand":"Lilliput Press, Limited, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176833695984,"sku":"9781843514022","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781843514022_p0.jpg?v=1769893798","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781843514022","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
