ISBN: 9781784992521 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The First World War was the first 'total war'.

In an effort to alleviate this suffering, tens of thousands of women volunteered to serve as nurses. Of these, some were experienced professionals, while others had undergone only minimal training. Their motivations were a combination...

An astonishing retelling of twentieth-century history from the Ottoman perspective, delivering profound new insights into World War I and the contemporary Middle East Between 1911 and 1922, a series of wars would engulf the Ottoman Empire and its successor states, in which the central conflict, of course, is World War I--a story we think we know well.

Minorities in Wartime: National and Racial Groupings in Europe, North America and Australia During the Two World Wars
ISBN: 9781474290500 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume an international team explores the historical dimensions of a pervasive and controversial issue of our time: the fate of ethnic groups in societies under severe stress. Although this book focusses on the extreme situations of the two world wars, parallels with more recent eruptions of violence and the widespread re-emergence of racism in the wake of dislocation and disorientation of large populations are striking. This pioneering book fills an obvious gap in the field of minority history and the study of war and society.

Nevertheless, as a result of common efforts, re-visiting those chosen aspects of the Great War of 1914-1918 enables the presentation of a volume that shows the multidimensional nature and consequences of this turning point in the history of particular nations, if not all mankind. This book, if treated as an intellectual journey through several continents, shows that World War I was not exclusively Europe's war, and that it touched - in different ways -...

The Birth of the New Justice: The Internationalization of Crime and Punishment, 1919-1950
ISBN: 9780198783251 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Birth of the New Justice is a history of the attempts to instate ad hoc and permanent international criminal courts and new international criminal laws from the end of World War I to the beginning of the Cold War. The purpose of these courts was to repress aggressive war, war crimes, terrorism, and genocide.
Rather than arguing that these legal projects were attempts by state governments to project a "liberal legalism" and create an international state system that limited sovereignty, Mark Lewis shows that European jurists in a variety of transnational organizations derived...
