{"product_id":"preston-in-the-first-world-david-huggonson-9781445618579","title":"Preston in the First World War","description":"On 4 August 1914 the people of Preston received news that war had been declared. Local newspapers printed explosive headlines stating this fact, and four years of hardship, uncertainty and loss followed. From recruitment and the Pals, to women joining the war effort in munitions factories, news from the front, rationing, and eventually demobilisation, this book provides a valuable insight into the city's experience of one of the greatest events of the twentieth century. This book has been designed to inform you, the reader, of how the city coped with the war by presenting first-hand accounts. You will read letters from those who served at the front, interviews with local people who spoke of their childhood memories and extracts from local newspapers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Huggonson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445618575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445618579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"David Huggonson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444900212991,"sku":"9781445618579","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f51a2d3c-b301-49e5-abe6-55f3f9b5227e.jpg?v=1777215305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/preston-in-the-first-world-david-huggonson-9781445618579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
