Crouse Lexington Books, 2008 - Počet stran: 240 Dear Senator Smith presents compelling war views of ordinary people living in small centers. The only female senator of those years, Smith appeared to encourage a high level of honest, heart-felt commentary from Americans; letters sent to her concerning America's involvement in the Vietnam War reveal the contested terrain of foreign policy ideas in a turbulent era of rebellion and reaction. |
