European Political Facts, 1900-1996

In this update of the 1973 edition also canvassing the Atlantic to the Urals, the authors have accommodated the dramatic transformations of post-Communist era Europe and extended coverage to include nearly the entire 20th century. They provide a handy reference on: international organizations, heads of state, parliaments, ministers, elections, political parties, defense and treaties, dependencies, population, and 13 new countries. The glossary spans "Action Francaise" to "Zimmermann Telegram." Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
