{"product_id":"all-valiant-dust-an-irishman-abroad","title":"Peter Ross: All Valiant Dust [1992] hardback","description":"For many of its participants, the Second World War was the most intense period of their lives - with horizons widened by grief, strangeness and excitement. Peter Ross, graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, to become a troop commander in Montgomery's Eighth Army. He took ship to Egypt and was active in the Western Desert campaign, concluding with El Alamein, a memorable and historic battle which marked the turning-point of the war. Hospitalized and awarded the Military Cross, Ross returned to take part in the D-Day landings, the liberation of Brussels and the advance on the Rhine. All Valiant Dust is a young Irishman's experience of war, vividly recounted with compassion and humour. Its painfully realized remembrance of the din and tempo of desert conflict, and much besides, documents extraordinary times.","brand":"Ross, Peter \u0026 O'connor, Ulick","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47838072242515,"sku":"XV80946640898","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":50051543662931,"sku":"9780946640898","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/ross-peter-o-connor-ulick-peter-ross-all-valiant-dust-1992-hardback-1249067780.jpg?v=1784033379","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/all-valiant-dust-an-irishman-abroad","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
