{"product_id":"9781847349743","title":"Fix Bayonets!","description":"The Doughboys were the American soldiers who entered the Great War in the last year of the conflict; and of their number the Marine Corps were the absolute elite. The author of this episodic but vivid series of sketches, John W. Thomason, was a Captain in the Corps, descended from a distinguished Southern military family. A natural writer, his colloquial account follows the Marines through France, giving an account of their most famous- and bloodiest - actions, including the Argonne Forest, Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry, Mont Blanc and St Mihiel. As well as the fighting itself, Thomason is good on off-duty anecdotes. First-hand American accounts of the Great War are rare. This is one of the best. It is profusely illustrated by the author's own excellent drawings","brand":"Naval \u0026 Military Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043243737328,"sku":"9781847349743","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847349743_p0.jpg?v=1763747006","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847349743","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
