ISBN: 9780415079952 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Forty years of confrontation in Europe have produced a complex set of conditioned reflexes in Western military thinking. With the ending of the Warsaw pact, planning and analysis specialists have had to look again at the basic principles of war: there is no sure ground any more. The analysis of threat and response has been transformed and new patterns of likely action, such as the Gulf intervention, have been accommodated. In practical terms, this affects what is taught to both new officers and senior officers about to assume command responsibilities. The essays in the Science of War attempt...

The Origins of the American Civil War
ISBN: 9781138148017 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The American Civil War (1861-65) was the bloodiest war of the nineteenth century and its impact continues to be felt today.

Jfc Fuller: Military Thinker
ISBN: 9780333530146 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Brian Holden Reid now considers afresh the military thought of Major-General J.F.C.Fuller - a pioneer of tank warfare and one of the most important military thinkers of the twentieth century. With a wealth of documentation, much of it previously untapped, Dr Reid explores Fuller's formative experiences, showing how his early life, his service in the Boer War and in India, and his friendships with many alienated intellectuals, including the notorious Aleister Crowley, combined to shape his mental outlook and, eventually, his study of the phenomenon of war.

Women's Religious Experience
ISBN: 9781138821170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most of the early literature concerning women s religious experience is about exceptional women; those who diverged from the traditional female role to become nuns, mystics or charismatic leaders. While women were permitted to be prophets and visionaries they rarely played an important part in church organisation. This paradox is explored in this book and a number of themes emerge: in particular, the dominance of male symbolism within the great religions. The question of whether men and women apprehend religious systems and signs in the same way is also explored. In considering the...
