{"product_id":"the-silent-service-john-parker-9780747238058","title":"The Silent Service","description":"One of the great untold stories of the British services is that of the Royal Navy Submarine Service which entered the fray in World War I with 100 underwater craft. Through World War II, where submariners' prospects of returning safely from a mission were only 50:50, the Falklands conflict and the sinking of the Belgrano, to present-day elite machines, the Silent Service has played an enormous part in British defence. John Parker's in-depth investigation is very much personality led with diaries from the early part of the century to substantial first-person testimony from survivors of wartime heroics (when many VCs were won).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0747238057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780747238058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Headline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.30w x 1.20d","brand":"John Parker","offers":[{"title":"Mass Market Paperbound","offer_id":47965734240511,"sku":"9780747238058","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6feea49-1315-4020-b81c-0b294b9315bd.jpg?v=1767284443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-silent-service-john-parker-9780747238058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
