{"product_id":"the-italian","title":"The Italian","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Italy declared war on the British Empire on June 10, 1940, it meant that Canada was also Italy's enemy.  The Canadian government immediately ordered the internment of some 600 Italian Canadians who were considered a serious potential threat to national security.  Another 17,000 Canadians of Italian origin were ordered to register every month with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  This dark chapter in Canadian history is not well-known because Italian Canadians affected by it chose not to speak about their ordeal.  This novel weaves historical facts and fiction to dramatize that almost-forgotten event.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365757808801,"sku":"9781105454813","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/18k4zndm-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1716509705","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-italian","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
