A Passage to Nuristan : Exploring the Mysterious Afghan Hinterland
ISBN: 9781845111755 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the story of three young westerners--a Briton, an American and a German--who in 1960 set out to penetrate a land that few westerners had set eyes on.
