{"product_id":"9781938063763","title":"Written on the Knee: A Diary from the Greek-Italian Front of WWII","description":"During the Greek-Italian conflict of World War II, Dr. Theodore Electris, newly married and idealistic, was called up to the Greek-Italian front in the remote mountains of Albania. Homesick, hungry and desperately missing his young wife, Chrysoula, he kept an intimate journal to preserve his experiences for her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated by his daughter, Helen Electrie Lindsay, Electris’s entries and letters come together in \u003ci\u003eWritten on the Knee\u003c\/i\u003e. Fully illustrated and accompanied by supporting reference material, the collection serves as both an authentic historical document of Greek involvement in WWII and a story of love, separation and family ties threatened and strengthened by war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften overlooked in the scope of WWII, Greece’s six-month conflict with Mussolini’s forces played a pivotal role in the war’s outcome. The small country’s fierce resistance against the Italians delayed Hitler’s move into the Soviet Union, which many historians believe turned the war in favor of the Allies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Dr. Electris’s first entry to his last, \u003ci\u003eWritten on the Knee\u003c\/i\u003e captures the true story of love and war during a crucial time in modern history.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mighty Media, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182857208048,"sku":"9781938063763","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938063763_p0.jpg?v=1763661712","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938063763","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
