Recenzje

Truly comprehensive in scope, with contributions from leading experts, this outstanding collection is an essential primer for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of European defence and security. The mix of national, cross-European, and thematic chapters in one collection is especially welcome and makes it stand out from the existing literature.
