The Iraq War : Strategy, Tactics, and Military Lessons
ISBN: 9780275982270 / Angielski / Twarda / 572 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the spring of 2003, a stunned world watched the armed forces of the United States and Britain conduct a military campaign against Iraq. As a result, the Iraqi regime was dismantled, and much of the conventional wisdom about modern war was irrevocably altered.
