Pacific Beach
ISBN: 9781531614294 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

World War II brought a torrent of people to Pacific Beach--workers, sailors, and Marines, as well as their families--increasing its population five-fold. After the war, many residents remained, thus ensuring the growth of the community and the number of businesses, schools, and local services.
