ISBN: 9781843837244 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

However, as this book demonstrates, the militia as an issue changed over the course of the eighteenth century, with, from about 1760, demands for the reform of the militia being a key issue spearheading demands for wider constitutional reform. The book traces the militia in Ireland...

Ten years after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the strategic options of the West in modern warfare have fundamentally changed.

On the other hand, various types of warfare, meaning regular, irregular and terrorist, appear to amalgamate into a new type of warfare, the "hybrid wars"....
