{"product_id":"a-bloody-victory-dan-harvey-9781785373336","title":"A Bloody Victory: The Irish at War's End, Europe 1945","description":"Post D-Day, with the Allies on the newly created 'Second Front' driving fast eastwards beyond Paris, and the Russians on the 'Eastern Front' pressing westwards, the fervour of the fanatical Fascist Nazi Regime remained undiminished. For the Third Reich it was intolerable to believe that they must now concede. Instead of ending the war and suing for peace, the levels of hostility, hatred, and horror heightened, and the brutality, viciousness, and terror increased. The resistance to the Allied advances across Europe, first towards, then within Germany intensified, and every inch of the Fatherland was bitterly contested. With the Allies, in their thousands, were the Irish. \u003ci\u003eA Bloody Victory\u003c\/i\u003e unearths these people from the corners of Irish history and transports them back to the D-Day beaches and the bridge at Arnhem, to the frozen landscapes at the Battle of the Bulge and the banks of the River Rhine, to the unimaginable horrors of Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald concentration camps, and finally to the ruinous Battle of Berlin. There was no one individual 'Irish narrative' in the Second World War, but there was a narrative of Irish Individuals, and in \u003ci\u003eA Bloody Victory, \u003c\/i\u003e Dan Harvey pays due tribute to their significant contribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785373331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785373336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Merrion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Dan Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445705683199,"sku":"9781785373336","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ac67d2a-55a0-46b5-a9b1-513c0149368d.jpg?v=1777220144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-bloody-victory-dan-harvey-9781785373336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
