Churchill's Grand Alliance
ISBN: 9780156004701 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The New York Times Book Review called John Charmley's previous book on Winston Churchill "entertaining, informative, and infuriating." With equally impressive scholarship, eloquence, and wit, Charmley now turns to the Anglo-American "special relationship" that was the cornerstone of Churchill's foreign policy, ruthlessly stripping away the myth to reveal the unsentimental reality of the Churchill years and beyond, from 1940 to 1957. Churchill carried on the war because of his misguided faith that U.S. help could be enlisted to save the British Empire, contends Charmley. President Roosevelt,...

Sex Rights : The Oxford Amnesty Lectures 2002
ISBN: 9780192805614 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Discrimination due to gender and sexual orientation tends nowadays to be prohibited under international human rights instruments, as well as under the national laws of many countries that express their commitment to defending human rights. Nonetheless, as the work of Amnesty International has shown, violence against women (whatever their sexual orientation), gay men, trans-gendered and transsexual persons remains an appallingly constant phenomenon, both in countries that have an official commitment to fighting these forms of discrimination and in those that do not.
These essays seek to... Discrimination due to gender and sexual orientation tends nowadays to be prohibited under international human rights instruments, as well as under the...

ISBN: 9780192807083 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cities, at their best, are cradles of diversity, opportunity, and citizenship. Why, then, do so many cities today seem scarred by divisions separating the powerful and privileged from the victims of deprivation and injustice? What is it like to live on the wrong side of the divide in Paris, London, New York, Sao Paolo, and other cities all over the world?
In this book, based on the internationally renowned Oxford Amnesty Lectures, eight leading urban thinkers argue about why divisions arise in cities and about what could and should be done to bring those divisions to an end.

ISBN: 9780195028249 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Beloved as a World War II hero, Dwight D. Eisenhower was for many years considerably less appreciated as a president.

ISBN: 9780195039979 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a penetrating account of Anglo-Iraqi relations from 1929, when Britain decided to grant independence to Iraq, to 1941, when hostilities between the two nations came to an end. Showing how Britain tried--and failed--to maintain its political influence, economic ascendancy, and strategic position in Iraq after independence, Silverfarb presents a suggestive analysis of the possibilities and limitations of indirect rule by imperial powers in the Third World.

Poland, the United States, and the Stabilization of Europe, 1919-1933
ISBN: 9780195040500 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the eyes of the world, no European country appeared more vulnerable to its enemies or less likely to establish peace with them than inter-war Poland. This is the first full-length study of relations between Poland and the U.S. following World War I, as Poland turned to America to buttress its precarious position. Pease lucidly examines how Polish leaders of the 1920s, discerning America's essential aim of fostering stability in Europe, sought to enlist U.S. political and financial support on behalf of their beleaguered state. Drawing on exhaustive archival research, Pease unravels the...

ISBN: 9780195041842 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The complex question of the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands remains far from resolved, even after the military and political events that took place from April to June 1982. The first scholarly work of its kind, this broad and dispassionate study of the causes of the South Atlantic war between Britain and Argentina addresses the larger issues raised by the Falkland crisis and untangles a web of events and attitudes that stretch back over the past century.

ISBN: 9780195043358 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this fascinating new interpretation of Cold War history, John Lewis Gaddis focuses on how the United States and the Soviet Union have managed to get through more than four decades of Cold War confrontation without going to war with one another.
Using recently-declassified American and British documents, Gaddis argues that the postwar international system has contained previously unsuspected elements of stability. This provocative reassessment of contemporary history--particularly as it relates to the current status of Soviet-American relations--will certainly generate discussion,...

Chinese-Soviet Relations, 1937-1945 : The Diplomacy of Chinese Nationalism
ISBN: 9780195054323 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the Sino-Japanese war of 1937-1945, the Chinese people suffered great degradation at the hands of the Japanese. The spectacle of China's debasement as well as the very real prospect of the restoration of alien rule incensed nationalist passions throughout China. As the military, economic, and political crises deepened, three different Chinese regimes emerged--the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chinese Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT), and the pro-Japanese government headed by Wang Jingwei--all competing for nationalist legitimacy. Through an exhaustive and meticulous...

Escape from Violence : Conflict and the Refugee Crisis in the Developing World
ISBN: 9780195055924 / Angielski / Twarda / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The magnitude of refugees movements in the Third World, widely perceived as an unprecedented crisis, has generated widespread concern in the West. This concern reveals itself as an ambiguous mixture of heartfelt compassion for the plight of the unfortunates cast adrift and a diffuse fear that they will come "pouring in." In this comprehensive study, the authors examine the refugee flows originating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and suggest how a better understanding of this phenomenon can be used by the international community to assist those in greatest need. Reviewing the history of...

The Power of Legitimacy among Nations
ISBN: 9780195061789 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although there is no international government, and no global police agency enforces the rules, nations obey international law. In this provocative study, Franck employs a broad range of historical, legal, sociological, anthropological, political, and philosophical modes of analysis to unravel the mystery of what makes states and people perceive rules as legitimate. Demonstrating that virtually all nations obey most rules nearly all of the time, Franck reveals that the more legitimate laws and institutions appear to be, the greater is their capacity for compliance. Distilling those factors...

Dominoes and Bandwagons : Strategic Beliefs and Great Power Competion in the Eurasian Rimland
ISBN: 9780195062465 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fearing the loss of Korea and Vietnam would touch off a chain reaction of other countries turning communist, the United States fought two major wars in the hinterlands of Asia. What accounts for such exaggerated alarm, and what were its consequences? Is a fear of the domino effect permanently rooted in the American strategic psyche, or has the United States now adopted a less alarmist approach? The essays in this book address these questions by examining domino thinking in United States and Soviet Cold War strategy, and in earlier historic settings. Combining theory and history in analyzing...

As Moscow Sees Us : American Politics and Society in the Soviet Mindset
ISBN: 9780195062601 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work explores how Soviet analysts interpret American domestic politics and social movements by examining their answers to such questions as: "Who rules America?" "How do these rulers stay in power?" and "How do the major classes interact in the American social and political arenas?" Mills demonstrates that, despite growing Soviet understanding of the American political system and their increasing interpretive emphasis on elites rather than classes, Soviet analysis continues to be constrained by an intricate "mindset" that resists modification. An intimate look at Soviet political...

Waging Peace offers the first fully comprehensive study of Eisenhower's "New Look" program of national security, which provided the groundwork for the next three decades of America's Cold War strategy. Though the Cold War itself and the idea of containment originated under Truman, it was left to Eisenhower to develop the first coherent and sustainable strategy for addressing the issues unique to the nuclear age. To this end, he designated a decision-making system centered around the National Security Council to take full advantage of the expertise and data from various departments...

The Invisible Weapon : Telecommunications and International Politics, 1851-1945
ISBN: 9780195062731 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A vital instrument of power, telecommunications is and has always been a political technology. In this book, Headrick examines the political history of telecommunications from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of World War II. He argues that this technology gave society new options. In times of peace, the telegraph and radio were, as many predicted, instruments of peace; in times of tension, they became instruments of politics, tools for rival interests, and weapons of war. Writing in a lively, accessible style, Headrick illuminates the political aspects of information technology, showing...
