Endless debates have raged over the reasons the Japanese were able to execute their surprise attack on the U.S. Navys Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor so successfully.

Three valuable...

The Maritime History of Cornwall
ISBN: 9780859898508 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cornwall is quintessentially a maritime region. Almost an island, nowhere in it is further than 25 miles from the sea. Cornwall's often distinctive history has been molded by this omnipresent maritime environment, while its strategic position at the western approaches--jutting out into the Atlantic--has given this history a global impact. It is perhaps surprising then, that, despite the central place of the sea in Cornwall's history, there has not yet been a full maritime history of Cornwall. The Maritime History of Cornwall sets out to fill this gap, exploring the rich and complex... Cornwall is quintessentially a maritime region.
