The Challenge: Britain Against America in the Naval War of 1812
ISBN: 9780571273201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In the summer of 1812 Britain stood alone, fighting for her very survival against a vast European Empire. Only the Royal Navy stood between Napoleon's legions and ultimate victory. In that dark hour America saw its chance to challenge British dominance: her troops invaded Canada and American frigates attacked British merchant shipping, the lifeblood of British defence. War polarised America. The south and west wanted land, the north wanted peace and trade. But America had to choose between the oceans and the continent. Within weeks the land invasion had stalled, but American warships and...

The Crimean War: British Grand Strategy Against Russia, 1853-56
ISBN: 9781409410119 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In contrast to every other book about the conflict Andrew Lambert's ground-breaking study The Crimean War: British Grand Strategy against Russia, 1853-1856 is neither an operational history of the armies in the Crimea, nor a study of the diplomacy of the conflict. The core concern is with grand strategy, the development and implementation of national policy and strategy. The key concepts are strategic, derived from the works of Carl von Clausewitz and Sir Julian Corbett, and the main focus is on naval, not military operations. This original approach rejected the 'Continentalist' orthodoxy...

The Paraguay Reader: History, Culture, Politics
ISBN: 9780822352686 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hemmed in by the vast, arid Chaco to the west and, for most of its history, impenetrable jungles to the east, Paraguay has been defined largely by its isolation. Partly as a result, there has been a dearth of serious scholarship or journalism about the country. Going a long way toward redressing this lack of information and analysis, The Paraguay Reader is a lively compilation of testimonies, journalism, scholarship, political tracts, literature, and illustrations, including maps, photographs, paintings, drawings, and advertisements. Taken together, the anthology's many selections...

The Transition to Democracy in Paraguay
ISBN: 9781349257690 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The transition to democracy in Paraguay has been one of the most difficult in Latin America. This book highlights the limitations of the process of democratisation in a country which lacked a previous democratic tradition and where the legacy of the harsh regime of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-89) is enduring. The book describes the nature of the Stroessner regime, examines the actors in the democratisation process, and shows how they influenced the policies of the transition governments.

The Dreadnought and the Edwardian Age
ISBN: 9780754663157 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. HMS Dreadnought (1906) is closely associated with the age of empire, the Anglo-German antagonism and the naval arms race before the First World War. Yet it was also linked with a range of other contexts - political and cultural, national and international - that were central to the Edwardian period. The chapters in this volume investigate these contexts and their intersection in this symbolically charged icon of the Edwardian age. In reassessing the most famous warship of the period, this collection not only considers the strategic and operational impact of this 'all big gun' battleship, but...
