Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
The Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), also known as the Biafran War, remains one of the most politically charged and divisive issues in contemporary Nigerian politics. During its three years of violence, the war resulted in an astonishing number of deaths. This included civilians who suffered starvation due to the siege, which ultimately ended with no victors.
Biafra discusses the major political, military, and diplomatic factors that came to play in the war, as well as the matters of genocide, humanitarian relief, and the memory of Biafra. Author Roy Doron delineates the war's operational history, from its origins to its military engagements, failures in leadership, international reactions, and its resolution and legacy. Biafra also examines how the country was affected after the war, when Nigeria's military government imposed a ""no victors, no vanquished"" policy in order to minimize further conflict and promote national unity.
Providing the first comprehensive narrative history of the Nigerian Civil War in more than 50 years, Biafra offers a new basis for scholars and readers to understand one of postcolonial Africa's most devastating and consequential conflicts.
