{"product_id":"9781445697086","title":"The Lost Battlefields of Britain by Martin Wall","description":"No major battle has taken place on British soil since the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Almost three centuries of the absence of war on the island has generated a complacency which blinds us to the horrific violence and bloodshed which raged on these isles for over 1,700 years. For many younger people, war is a seeming anachronism, a reminder of an unsophisticated, almost barbaric past. For other people, our military history recalls more glorious days, when British military skill helped to establish a vast overseas empire.   Martin Wall examines our long and blood-soaked history from the Roman invasions until modern times. This is by no means just a story of honour, courage and glory, but of the terrible suffering war has caused through the centuries - and the epigenetic trauma it has bequeathed us, which continues to influence our national culture even today.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56300018336117,"sku":"9781445697086","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781445697086.jpg?v=1762786790","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781445697086","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
