{"product_id":"firefighters-during-the-troubles","title":"Firefighters During The Troubles By Wilson, John","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore the outbreak of the Troubles, a typical firefighter’s year might have included call-outs to chimney fires, the occasional house fire or road accident, and – even more rarely – a large factory or hay shed fire. While a firefighting career was always inherently exciting and risky, for most firefighters moments of high drama were anything but a daily occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen everything changed, and Northern Ireland’s firefighters spent almost every day of the next thirty years racing to the scenes of atrocities, running towards the gravest danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this powerful book, men and women who served in the fire service during the Troubles tell their own stories in their own words – the events that have never left them, the victims they have never forgotten, the extraordinary bond between colleagues, the emotional burden and fallout from the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories cover a uniquely challenging period for firefighters – full of exhilaration, fear, bravery and sorrow. What comes across is a universal desire to honour the uniform, to be brave when the need for courage is acute, and to be determined to cover your mate’s back – no matter what.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58344321581438,"sku":"NW9781780732343","price":12.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781780732343.jpg?v=1793252575","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/firefighters-during-the-troubles","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
