Deterrence
ISBN: 9780745631127 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As a concept, deterrence has launched a thousand books and articles. It has dominated Western strategic thinking for more than four decades. In this important and groundbreaking new book, Lawrence Freedman develops a distinctive approach to the evaluation of deterrence as both a state of mind and a strategic option. This approach is applied to post-cold war crisis management, and the utility and relevance of the concept is addressed in relation to US strategic practice post-9/11, particularly in the light of the apparent preference of the Bush Administration for the alternative concept of...

ISBN: 9781586487010 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is in the Middle East that the U.S. has been made to confront its attitudes on the use of force, the role of allies, and international law. The history of the U.S. in the Middle East, then, becomes an especially revealing mirror on America s view of its role in the wider world.
In this wise, objective, and illuminating history, Lawrence Freedman shows how three key events in 19781979 helped establish the foundations for U.S. involvement in the Middle East that would last for thirty years, without offering any straightforward or bloodless exit options: the Camp David summit leading to the...

The Revolution in Strategic Affairs
ISBN: 9780199223695 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rapid developments in information technology and precision weaponry are said to herald a 'revolution in military affairs' (RMA), making possible quick and decisive victories with minimal casualties and collateral damage. But has such a revolution taken place? The issues that drive conflict will persist, and many of the technical advances associated with the RMA will not necessarily produce a transformation in the nature of warfare. The end of the Cold War has highlighted another revolution one in political affairs. Major powers appear less likely to go to war with one another than they are...

Infective Endocarditis and Other Intravascular Infections
ISBN: 9781468482102 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The most important example of intravascular infection is infective endocarditis (IE), a common and serious disorder in man. In the past, these infections were uniformly fatal, but since the development of potent antimicrobial agents, bac- teriological cure has become practical and predictable. So, for a while, it seemed that intravascular infection would diminish in importance and be relegated to the stockpile of illnesses which physicians, one or two generations earlier, used to see frequently. In recent years, however, spectacular technological advances (cardiac surgery, intravascular...
