The wars between East and West have not only been the longest and most costly in human history, they have also formedthe West's vision of itself as independent, free, secular, and now democratic. They have shaped, and continue to shape, the nature of the modern world. ISBN: 9780199569779. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
