And in doing so, he lifts the veil on what life is like at the very heart of power.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 213gAuthor: Witold SzablowskiTranslator: Antonia Lloyd-JonesContributor: Antonia Lloyd-Jones (Translated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
