{"product_id":"world-war-ii-and-the-michael-morgan-9781467118156","title":"World War II and the Delaware Coast","description":"Within weeks of Pearl Harbor, German U-boats arrived off the Delaware coast and attacked numerous ships along the vital shipping lanes to Philadelphia and Wilmington. On February 28, 1942, two German torpedoes hit the destroyer Jacob Jones, which was carrying more than one hundred American sailors. It sank in less than an hour. A center for military activity, Lewes became a refuge for many survivors from such attacks. The dunes along Cape Henlopen hid the massive artillery batteries of Fort Miles. Residents of the beachfront communities rallied amid the blackout regulations and air raid drills with rationing and scrap drives. Spotters watched for enemy warships in concrete towers that still line the coast. Author Michael Morgan tells the remarkable story of a coast at war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146711815X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467118156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Michael Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936106086655,"sku":"9781467118156","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5d6fa395-67b1-4816-b0d1-b5e6ce059c4d.jpg?v=1681423622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-war-ii-and-the-michael-morgan-9781467118156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
