Review
Overall, the potential strength of volumes in this series, that they provide fairly regularly revised coverage for many countries where up-to-date reference material in English is lacking or out-of-date, needs to be recognised. (African Research & Documentation )
...this historical dictionary contains much substance about a little-known area and is an important resource for anyone beginning study of this country. (Arba )
The places, events, and protagonists of the tragically bloody history of this little known African nation are presented in this reference. The third edition updates all information through the end of 2003. The volume contains a chronology summarizing the country's history, a dictionary of people, events, and places; and an updated and exhaustive bibliography.
