ISBN: 9781410220165 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But in Korea five years later, the United States limited itself to conventional weapons. Even after communist China entered the war, Americans put China off-limits to conventional bombing as well as nuclear bombing. Operating within these limits, the...
