{"product_id":"armageddon-nicholas-hagger-9781846943522","title":"Armageddon: The Triumph of Universal Order; An Epic Poem on the War on Terror and of Holy-War Crusaders","description":"Armageddon is a contemporary epic poem about the major event of our own time. Written in blank verse, it narrates the defining event for civilisation today: the American President Bush's struggle against the Islamic extremism of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, in the course of which Bush transforms himself, the US and the world. It follows the War on Terror from September 11, 2001 through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which some believe were illegally waged for reasons of oil. Covertly supported by Iran, bin Laden is shown as possessing at least 20 nuclear suitcase bombs (a purchase confirmed by Hans Blix of the IAEA in 2004), some of which he plans to explode simultaneously in 10 American cities - hence the title. The poem presents all sides of the War on Terror and makes sense of the first decade of the 21st century. Armageddon is Nicholas Hagger's second poetic epic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Hagger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846943523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846943522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Obooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Nicholas Hagger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447990038783,"sku":"9781846943522","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32b1475e-2c0f-4be8-9bd5-a7e5daaa1478.jpg?v=1777236159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armageddon-nicholas-hagger-9781846943522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
