{"product_id":"the-separation-9780575070035b","title":"The Separation","description":"\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Separation\u003c\/span\u003e is the story of twin brothers, rowers in the 1936 Olympics (where they met Hess, Hitler's deputy); one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Separation\u003c\/span\u003e is an emotionally riveting story of how the small man can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.","brand":"Gollancz","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42819577446480,"sku":"9780575070035B","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780575070035-l.jpg?v=1785876484","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/the-separation-9780575070035b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
