ISBN: 9780190462475 / Angielski / Miękka / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Ranging across the battlefields and international borders have been dozens of jihadi Islamist fighting groups, of which some coalesced into significant factions such as Jabhat al Nusra and the Islamic State.
