Every Day Is a Holiday... Every Meal Is a Feast! - A Fourth Book of Marine Corps Sea Stories and Politically Incorrect Common Sense
ISBN: 9780974579382 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780857060853 / Angielski / Miękka / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marlborough at War
It is a trait of any nation's regard for it's great men that its focus falls upon few and each eclipses those that precede it. Exceptionally, for the British, the fame of Duke of Wellington, who brought to book the great tyrant of his age, has thus far endured where fine commanders who came after him are all but forgotten in the popular mind. The names of Clive, Roberts and Kitchener are now seldom celebrated despite their deserved fame in their lifetimes. John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, perhaps suffers from belonging to an age nearly a century before Arthur... Marlborough at War
