ISBN: 9780521479585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road, 1567-1659: The Logistics of Spanish Victory and Defeat in the Low Countries' Wars
ISBN: 9780521543927 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the "new military history," which emphasized military organization--mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics--rather than military "events" such as sieges and battles. Constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch), this revised updated second edition includes new sources and references but otherwise remains faithful to the original edition. First Edition Hb (1972): 0-521-08462-8 First Edition Pb (1975): 0-521-09907-2

The Geopolitics of Domination
ISBN: 9781138813342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using the examples of the Ottoman Empire, Spain, Austria, France and Germany, this book describes the principal geopolitical features of the expansionist state. It then presents a model of the operation of the expansionist process over space and time. It goes on to apply the geopolitical characteristics of the model to the period after 1945 in order to assess the extent to which the Soviet Union might be considered as being an expansionist state, either actually or potentially. This latter question is obviously once more extremely relevant with the current events in Ukraine.
