{"product_id":"the-beastly-battles-of-old-england","title":"The Beastly Battles Of Old England","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout history the English have been a warlike lot. Often we fight among ourselves - there have been a good few civil wars - and when we were not slaughtering each other we practiced on our neighbours the Scots the Irish the French . . .  When that got too easy we set off around the world to find other people to fight. This was usually done with a hubris that invited some ludicrous pratfall. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn THE BEASTLY BATTLES OF OLD ENGLAND Nigel Cawthorne takes us on a darkly humorous journey through some of our ill-advised military actions. From the war over a severed ear to a general seeking out his rival's mistresses to even the score it is a miscellany of insufferable arrogance reckless gallantry stunning stupidity massive misjudgements and general beastliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786460065971,"sku":"9780749956196","price":580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477291049780749956196.jpg?v=1762802308","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-beastly-battles-of-old-england","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
