{"product_id":"9781473699137","title":"Yankee Mission","description":"\u003cp\u003e1812. Off the coast of Brazil, HMS Java, a proud British 38-gun frigate, is captured in battle by the American USS Constitution - signaling across the world's oceans a challenge to Britain's naval premiership that cannot be ignored. Back in England Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is enjoying a moment of normal life with his wife and his newborn son. With his Thunderer in dock receiving some repairs he is, momentarily, without a command. But he is soon given a mission: engage the young republic in a fair fight, frigate against frigate, and restore the Navy's reputation. And they have just the ship and crew for him - Tyger. But on reaching the US east coast, Kydd and his trusted Tygers realise that the hardest part of their mission will be drawing out one of the Yankee men-o'-war to engage in battle - especially once the Americans get wind of his purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Julian \/ Stockwin","offer_id":40300181913665,"sku":"9781473699137","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/products\/9781473699137.jpg?v=1670069927","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781473699137","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
