ISBN: 9781500819453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Emory Upton believed that politicians should leave war to professionals.

These assumptions resulted in what Samuel P. Huntington described as the "normal-theory" relationship between policy-makers and generals.
