ISBN: 9780853039761 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

With Friends Like These: Entangled Nationalisms and the Canada-Quebec-France Triangle, 1944-1970
ISBN: 9780774822251 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

With Friends like These demystifies this cri du balcon by shifting the focus from de Gaulle to the broader domestic and international forces at play. David Meren traces the evolution of Quebec's special relationship with...
