Simón Bolívar: Venezuelan Rebel, American Revolutionary
ISBN: 9780742537521 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

In the process, he became both a unifying and a divisive presence whose symbolic influence remains powerful...

He also died in exile after the rejection of his arbitrary and dictatorial rule in Colombia. This volume takes a step back from...
