Magill's Choice: The United States at War
ISBN: 9781587652363 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The United States at War addresses this theme by offering compact surveys of the most important military conflicts in which the United States has been involved--from the Revolutionary War through the Iraq War of 2003. The two-volume set's 177 essays examine these conflicts...
