Excellent info, but check the internet first
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Just FYI, the information in this book [disclaimer: I haven't actually looked in the hard copy!] is available on the internet at www.cia.gov. And it is extensive. GDP? Political parties? Border disputes? Latest election results? Percentage of arable land? Unemployment rate? "Factbook" is an appropriate name, as it is just that, a list of facts. A very useful starting point for just about any topic of interest regarding any country. And the website info is pretty regularly updated. The small, uneventful country I checked just before writing this review was last updated about two months ago--in 2006, even though the website title info still says "2005".
