Fred Astaire, Woody Allen, Madonna, Benazir Bhutto, and Steven Spielberg. These are just a few of the more than 1700 names found in A Dictionary of Twentieth-Century World Biography.

Designed to provide the most reliable information in the most accessible form, each entry includes a sketch of the family background and education of the person, a description of the events that have brought them to fame (or infamy), and a summary of their achievements or misdemeanors.
