An Introduction to Contemporary History An Introduction to Contemporary History

Geoffrey Barraclough

Издател: Pelican Book

His purpose is to show the ways in which, since the closing years of the nineteenth century, the fundamental structure of world politics has changed.

Nicholas Rankin

Издател: Faber & Faber

By June 1940, most of Europe had fallen to the Nazis and Britain stood alone. To protect itself, the nation fell back on cunning and camouflage.
