Leaders at War: How Presidents Shape Military Interventions
ISBN: 9780801479557 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In Leaders at War, Elizabeth N. Saunders provides a framework for understanding when and why great powers seek to transform foreign...

Locating Air Force Base Sites: History's Legacy
ISBN: 9781477539996 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past twelve years, the base infrastructure of the United States Air Force (USAF) has shrunk rapidly to accommodate force downsizing engendered by the ending of the Cold War. Still more radical changes are necessary to efficiently support the agile forces required to wage the "Global War on Terrorism." Historically, the ebb, flow, and utilization of Air Force installations are interconnected to changes in the size, composition, and capabilities of major flying and nonflying organizations. As a result, the number of USAF installations has fluctuated according to the complex interaction...

This book is a sequel to Jacob Van Staaveren's Gradual Failure: The...
