{"product_id":"barefoot-gen-volume-8-keiji-nakazawa-9780867195996","title":"Barefoot Gen Volume 8: Merchants of Death","description":"Barefoot Gen Volume Eight ―\"Merchants of Death\" ― It's 1950 and Gen is now in middle school, where he meets both a progressive-minded schoolteacher at odds with his conservative superiors, and a brilliant but cynical classmate who challenges the teacher's -- and Gen's -- values at every turn. Gen also finds himself confronting the corrosive effects on postwar Hiroshima society of drugs and the arms industry. With the Korean War offering new business opportunities, a new generation of death merchants holds sway in Japan. Gen, his teacher mentor, and other peace-minded citizens are forced to struggle against red-baiting school officials, violent nationalists, and government censorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keiji Nakazawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0867195991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780867195996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Last Gasp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Keiji Nakazawa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042689609983,"sku":"9780867195996","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_219f8874-a9d5-43c5-a006-e8e632440531.jpg?v=1684962972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barefoot-gen-volume-8-keiji-nakazawa-9780867195996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
