The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited
ISBN: 9780521811200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 666 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Revealing battles and atrocities that contributed to the disintegration of rural communities, the story is harrowing. The refugees now number four million and their cause remains a major obstacle to regional peace. First Edition Hb (1988): 0-521-33028-9 First Edition Pb (1989):...
