Since the mid-1950s, successive Canadian governments have grappled with the issue of Canada's participation in US ballistic missile defence programs.

ISBN: 9781780390086 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In "Masked Dispatches: Cryptograms and Cryptology in American History, 1775-1900," the beginnings of American cryptography are portrayed as rooted in the nation's origin in revolutionary conspiracy.

Monitoring a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
ISBN: 9780792338116 / Angielski / Twarda / 836 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An international treaty banning the testing of any nuclear device in any environment - a comprehensive test ban treaty (CTBT) - has been on the political agenda for nearly 40 years.

Such issues are comprehensively addressed here, a preamble being... An international treaty banning the testing of any nuclear device in any environment - a comprehensive test ban treaty (CTBT) - has been on the politi...

ISBN: 9781612031088 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Niccolo Machiavelli's The Art of War is essential reading for any student of military history, strategy, or theory. The format of 'The Art of War' was in socratic dialogue.

To these ends, Machiavelli notes in his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting the contents. The Art of War was first published in 1521 and was the...
