Hunters have decimated its wildlife and mountaineers have...

Nevertheless, one such individual did manage to achieve this near-impossible feat of attaining everlasting fame: Genghis Khan.

Games without Rules: The Often-Interrupted History of Afghanistan
ISBN: 9781610393195 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of modern Afghanistan is an epic drama, a thriller, a tragedy, a surreal farce. Every forty years or so, over the last two centuries, some great global power has attempted to take control of Afghanistan, only to slink away wounded and bewildered. Games without Rules recounts this strange story, not from the outside looking in, as is usually the case, but from the inside looking out. Here, the interventions and invasions by foreign powers are not the main event. They are interruptions of the main event, for Afghans have a story of their own, quite apart from all the invasions (a...
