{"product_id":"9781844687862","title":"Armoured Guardsman","description":"The outbreak of World War II brought many changes to Britain's Brigade of Guards.  The dress-parade units had always maintained a full combat capacity and made a relatively easy transition into a new unit, the Guards Armoured Division.  The Guards landed in Normandy on D+4 and steadily fought their way across northern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Boscowan was a tank commander in the 1st Coldstream Guards and had four tanks shot from under him.  On the fourth occasion he was badly wounded and burned, making a difficult postwar recovery.  The years after the war, however, also brought both business and political success, culminating in a 23-year career in Parliament.  Boscowan's account of Britain's elite at war is based on his wartime diaries.","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150277984496,"sku":"9781844687862","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844687862_p0.jpg?v=1763744595","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844687862","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
