{"product_id":"the-paladin-reginald-pierce-9781456772475","title":"The Paladin","description":"For 7 year-old Raymond Johnson, born in India of Anglo\/Indian parents, his migration to Sydney, Australia, in 1949 is the start of a great adventure. The story follows Raymond's early life as he struggles through harsh treatment at boarding school and at the hands of his often-violent father's alcohol induced rages. After marriage at a young age, he joins the Commandos and later sees service with the AATV in Vietnam. The aftermath of that bloody conflict is his continuing nightmares; a drift into alcohol dependence, marriage break-up and years spent aimlessly drifting from job to job in tough outback-Australian country towns. A troubled man trying to get his life back together, a man with an honourable code, a modern day Paladin. This is a tale of abuse, love, mateship, courage, degradation and redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reginald Pierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1456772473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781456772475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Reginald Pierce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458445160703,"sku":"9781456772475","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_624dd7aa-c10c-4fd6-9758-700db06779bb.jpg?v=1777404481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paladin-reginald-pierce-9781456772475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
