ISBN: 9781494759742 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In just a few days time I will come to realize that I have traveled not just across the vast Atlantic Ocean but, somehow in some mysterious way, transported through a time warp as well.

Fatal Path: British Government and Irish Revolution 1910-1922
ISBN: 9780571297405 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It was a time, argues Ronan Fanning, when violence and the threat of violence trumped democratic politics. This is a contentious view. Historians have wished to see the events of that decade as an aberration, as an eruption...
