Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Alexander Hamilton and the Persistence of Myth explores the shifting reputation of our most controversial founding father. Since the day Aaron Burr fired his fatal shot, Americans have tried to come to grips with Alexander Hamilton's legacy.

Secret and Sanctioned: Covert Operations and the American Presidency
ISBN: 9780195100983 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today when we think of covert operations, we think of American-backed mercenaries circulating through jungle camps of Contra guerrillas, CIA agents plotting coups against governments in Chile and Libya, or the lethal cigars used in an attempt to assassinate Castro. In the public imagination, these kinds of operations--often seeming to go over the line, and always hidden from Congress and the American people--are a recent innovation, a rogue offspring of the Cold War, and perhaps even a violation of the democratic ideals on which this country was founded. But in this fascinating volume,...
