Review:
"a two-volume encyclopedia intended to provide readers with a sense of how historical forces and influences mold governments of the past and present. The 270 entries of the encyclopedia profile governments selected for their importance in world history, the uniqueness of their form of government, their recognition by international bodies, or their current status as independent states.
