Reviews
More than 2,600 entries are contained in this new edition. Entries cover countries, people, events, places, organizations, treaties, movements, and more, up to August 4, 2007. The small selection of maps could have used some updating as well. There is a companion Web page at http://www.oup.com/uk/reference/resources/contemporaryworldhistory, and some entries have a “See Web Links” note, which refers to resources available via the site. --Mary Ellen Quinn
