Prohibition: A Concise History
ISBN: 9780190689933 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After decades of pressure from rural Protestants such as the hatchet-wielding Carry A. Nation and organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League, the states ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

This bizarre episode is often humorously recalled, frequently satirized, and usually condemned. The more interesting...

The Real Making of the President: Kennedy, Nixon, and the 1960 Election
ISBN: 9780700618873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When John Kennedy won the presidency in 1960, he also won the right to put his own spin on the victory--whether as an underdog's heroic triumph or a liberal crusader's overcoming special interests. Now W. J.
