Limited War in South Asia: From Decolonization to Recent Times
ISBN: 9781409461999 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although South Asia has experienced large-scale conventional warfare on several occasions since the end of World War II, there is an almost total neglect of analysis of conventional warfare in the Indian subcontinent. Focusing on China, India and Pakistan, this volume takes a unique approach. Regional rivalries between India and Pakistan are linked with global rivalries between the USA and USSR (later Russia) and then China, and war is defined in a broader perspective. Gates and Roy analyze the conduct of land, sea and air warfare, as well as the causes and consequences of conflicts. Tactical...

Refashioning Iran: Orientalism, Occidentalism and Historiography
ISBN: 9781349426874 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mohamad Tavakoli-Targhi offers a corrective to recent works on Orientalism that focus solely on European scholarly productions without exploring the significance of native scholars and vernacular scholarship to the making of Oriental studies. He brings to light a wealth of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Indo-Persian texts, made 'homeless' by subsequent nationalist histories and shows how they relate to Indo-Iranian modernity. In doing so, he argues for a radical rewriting of Iranian history with profound implications for Islamic debates on gender.

ISBN: 9780226493183 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
