Tom Taylor's Civil War
ISBN: 9780700610495 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Our hurly-burly sagas of war often overlook the deep connections between warriors and the families they left behind.

ISBN: 9780700621415 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Make no mistake, the Confederacy had the will and valor to fight. But the Union had the manpower, the money, the materiel, and, most important, the generals. Although the South had arguably the best commander in the Civil War in Robert E. Lee, the North's full house beat their one-of-a-kind. Flawed individually, the Union's top officers nevertheless proved collectively superior across a diverse array of battlefields and ultimately produced a victory for the Union. Now acclaimed author Albert Castel brings his inimitable style, insight, and wit to a new reconsideration of these generals....
