Presidential Campaigns and American Self Images
ISBN: 9780367284190 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

After presenting an introduction to the history of presidential campaigning and a theory of political image, the book arranges essays in three parts: images centered on...
