This review is from: Who's Who In World Politics: From 1860 to the present day (Who's Who Series) (Paperback)

This book was a good help for researching the history of VIPs in US and European history. However sometimes not all the information which is provided is absolutly correct within the hole Who's Who series. But it is certainly a good starting point and I would definitly recommend it.
