ISBN: 9780198277545 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the 1950s nuclear weapons began to play an increasingly important role in Britain's defense policy.

In this study, Martin Navias seeks to analyze the significance of the 1957 White Paper on Defense in the context of British strategic planning during the mid-1950s. He assesses claims that the White Paper represented a culmination of trends already...

The Long War Ahead and the Short War Upon Us: Imperfect Civilization, Perfect Barbarism, and Wmd Terror
ISBN: 9780979014116 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The author is optimistic that the West will prevail in the Long War, but pessimistic about the Short War, because we are not doing all we that can-and must-do to stop a catastrophic WMD strike. Should we lose the Short War, we may well find victory hollow in the Long War. We must act now to prevail in both.
