{"product_id":"war-hotels-kenneth-morrison-9781785374029","title":"War Hotels","description":"\u003ci\u003eWar Hotels\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping exploration of hotels in wartime and in other times of crisis, told through the prism of now iconic hotels that were frequented by foreign correspondents, diplomats, aid workers, politicians, paramilitaries, and spies in conflicts in Northern Ireland, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, Iraq, and Bosnia \u0026amp; Herzegovina. It focuses on hotels that became closely associated with the brutal conflicts in which they were a part, such as the Europa Hotel in Belfast, the Continental and the Caravelle in Saigon, the Commodore in Beirut, and Sarajevo's Holiday Inn. Building upon the research undertaken for the Al Jazeera documentary series of the same name, this book tells the stories of these hotels in even more fascinating detail, drawing upon in-depth interviews with those who witnessed the tumultuous events that took place within or in the immediate environs of the buildings. By using war hotels as a locus of memory and a lens through which to convey the human stories and the conflicts, they provide not only viable 'micro-histories' but a rich vein of historical narratives and moving personal recollections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Morrison, Abdallah El Binni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785374028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785374029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Merrion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Kenneth Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131233890559,"sku":"9781785374029","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea0cc74e-930c-47b5-b62e-d63c0e3ffa97.jpg?v=1687473733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-hotels-kenneth-morrison-9781785374029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
