ISBN: 9781780993652 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But the prevailing view is that the West is essentially a force for good in the wider world. Why Are We The Good Guys? is a provocative challenge of this false ideology. David Cromwell digs beneath standard accounts of crucial issues such as foreign policy, climate change and the constant struggle between state-corporate power and...
