{"product_id":"queen-of-freedom-defending-jamaica","title":"Queen of Freedom: Defending Jamaica","description":"1720. Blue Mountains, windward Jamaica. In the sweltering heat Captain Shettlewood leads a troop of British soldiers through the thick trees towards the river. They are hunting slaves who have escaped from the brutal plantations. Their mission: to find them, and kill them.\n\nBut up ahead, hidden among the rocks above the water, a group of men with cutlasses and muskets wait patiently for the instructions of their leader. Queen Nanny is a 'wise woman' with a reputation for ancient obeah magic, and a guerilla fighter with a genius for organisation. So the battle for Jamaica begins, the First Maroon War, in which the maroons - escaped slaves - will make a final, do-or-die stand against the slavers and soldiers of Empire.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 128 pages | Published August 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pushkin Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63956582891869,"sku":"9781782692799","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781782692799.jpg?v=1774263431","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/queen-of-freedom-defending-jamaica","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
