An Army Afire: How the US Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era
ISBN: 9781469673264 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) By the Tet Offensive in early 1968, what had been widely heralded as the best qualified, best-trained army in US history was descending into crisis as the Vietnam War raged without end.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Sex in the Heartland is the story of the sexual revolution in a small university town in the quintessential heartland state of Kansas.

Bailey fundamentally challenges contemporary perceptions of the revolution as simply a triumph of free love and gay lib. Rather, she explores the long-term and mainstream changes in...
