Ernie Pyle in the American Southwest
ISBN: 9780865342439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ernie Pyle ranks with Richard Harding Davis, John Reed and Edward R. Murrow as one of the greatest war correspondents in American history. But he was different from all the correspondents who went before him or followed him in the combat zones of the world.

ISBN: 9780865343382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Historians have considered the contributions of many groups-from outlaws and lawmen to Harvey Girls and railroaders-in the making of the modern American Southwest.

Richard Melzer has taken a large step in filling this void with a major examination of the diverse experiences of children growing up in different regions, in different cultures, and in different periods....

Through it all, he remained a...

The enormous effort-called the Manhattan Project-that produced the world's first atomic bomb was supposed to be the best kept secret of World War II. And the Project's Los Alamos, New Mexico site where the bomb was perfected was supposed to have the tightest security of the project's other 37 installations across the United States. Even the vice president, Harry S. Truman, was kept in the dark initially until fate propelled him into the fray. But this was an illusion. Evidence from Soviet and American sources have proven that at least three-and as many as six-Communist spies penetrated the...
