The Marines - History of an American Myth

L20250005
€24.64
This work allows the reader to discover the rich history of an elite corps that has become inescapable yet remains almost entirely unknown. Indeed, no one in France is familiar with its first hundred and fifty years before 1918 and the Battle of Belleau Wood; no one knows that it was initially scorned, mocked for its mediocre performance, cut back,...

History of the Ninjas - Henchmen and Spies in Samurai Japan

L20240209
€19.81

As General de Gaulle expressed it in a celebrated and striking phrase: "France was forged by the sword."
