Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In The Left Side of History Kristen Ghodsee tells the stories of partisans fighting behind the lines in Nazi-allied Bulgaria during World War II: British officer Frank Thompson, brother of the great historian E.P.
