The Rise and Fall of the British Nation: A Twentieth-Century History
ISBN: 9780141975979 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 682 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the acclaimed author of Britains War Machine and The Shock of the Old, a bold reassessment of Britains twentieth century.

David Edgertons major new history breaks out of the confines of traditional British national history to redefine what it was to British, and to reveal...
