{"product_id":"9781802062014","title":"The Glass Mountain","description":"\u003cp\u003eMalcolm Gaskill knew two things about his great-uncle Ralph's wartime adventures: he'd been a prisoner in Italy, and he'd cut his way out of a train with a knife and fork. Apart from that, he'd faded into family folklore, lost to view. Until, one hot afternoon in an English country garden, a chance conversation set him off on his uncle's trail. What Ralph really did in the war was, he discovers, even more extraordinary than the exaggerations of family myth. From last-ditch fighting in the Libyan desert and incarceration in a Puglian prisoner-of-war camp, to desperate, dramatic escapes and the assuming of an entirely new identity among the peasants and partisans of the Italian alps, Gaskill traces a life transformed by conflict, while lifting the curtain on a long-forgotten episode of WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malcolm Gaskill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57153478558074,"sku":"9781802062014","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781802062014.jpg?v=1786201665","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781802062014","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
