ISBN: 9780674660465 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "How could I allow my soldiers to sail on this disloyal and cruel sea?" These words, attributed to the most powerful caliph of medieval Islam, Umar Ibn al-Khattab (634-644), have led to a misunderstanding in the West about the importance of the Mediterranean to early Islam.

ISBN: 9780674088634 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From 1980 to 1988, Iran and Iraq fought the longest conventional war of the twentieth century. The tragedies included the slaughter of child soldiers, the use of chemical weapons, the striking of civilian shipping in the Gulf, and the destruction of cities.
