The Little Field Marshal : A Life of Sir John French
ISBN: 9780304367023 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Despite being the most capable cavalry leader of his generation, Sir John French has always aroused controversy. Posterity has judged him an unfeeling butcher, responsible for more deaths in the first two hours of the battle of Loos than all the casualties on both sides in the 1944 D-Day landings. But French has another side, revealed in his private papers-- a side filled with affairs and personal torment. An esteemed Professor of Military and Security Studies tells French's compelling, dramatic story.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) With this collection of short and fascinating biographical pieces, the award-winning biographer of Coleridge and Shelley offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious art of biography.

Par exemple, il n'y a pas d'explication théorique à l'existence de trois générations de particules observées. Il n'y a pas d'explication de l'ordre des masses des particules au sein des...
