Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A unique collection of essays by eminent historians--and edited by one of the world's most acclaimed military writers: John Keegan. Churchill's reputation as Prime Minister during World War II fluctuated according to the successes and failures of his generals. Most were household names--even heroes.

ISBN: 9781844137381 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most studies of generalship have focused on individual character and behaviour.
