Amazon.com Review
Though An Atlas of World Affairs is huge in scope, the book itself is small and light, favoring simple yet effective maps in black-and-white over glossy color plates. Rather than divulge every historical twist and shout from time immemorial, it looks at the radical changes in modern history, explaining the background for what's occurred to the people, economies, alliances, religions, and nations of the world in the last few decades--and it succeeds admirably well. Still muddled about the Tutsi-Hutu conflicts in Rwanda, what happened in former Yugoslavia, or just who the Kurds are? This slim text will fill you in, while setting an academic standard for precision, lucidity, and accessibility, making it equally suitable for family libraries, student book bags, and diplomatic pouches alike. --Stephanie Gold
Product Description
The last few years have seen tremendous change in the politics of Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Entirely revised and updated, An Atlas of World Affairs describes the people, factions and events that have shaped the modern world from the World War II to the present day.
This edition places international issues and conflicts in their most recent geographical contexts through the integration of close to one hundred maps. Discussion of issues new to this edition include the breakup of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the expansion of the European Union, the reshaping of South Africa, and the pressing environmental concerns of nations. Revised and in print since 1957, this source will prove invaluable for all interest in post-war political history and current affairs.
