American Reference Books Annual 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. Reference and Research Book News
