ISBN: 9780852552247 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

These populations have received minimal assistance from international organizations and have lacked protection from oppressive governments and marauding guerillas. Their plight has largely been ignored. North America: Africa World Press
