{"product_id":"9781471158315","title":"Pegasus Bridge : D-day: The Daring British Airborne Raid by Stephen E. Ambrose","description":"D-Day before dawn. Minute by minute, hour by hour the danger grows...    ? ?In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defence forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-Day, the turning point of World War II. This gripping account by acclaimed author Stephen E. Ambrose brings to life a daring mission so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy invasion might have failed. Ambrose traces each step of the preparations over many months to the minute-by-minute excitement of the hand-to-hand confrontations on the bridge. This is a story of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality - the stuff of all great adventures.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204442652850,"sku":"9781471158315","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781471158315.jpg?v=1705420782","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781471158315","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
