Enigma of Islamist Violence
ISBN: 9781850658368 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The debate surrounding Islamist violence remains locked in oppositional sterility.

Mining contemporary newspapers, party and union records, oral histories, photographs,...
