Reviews

"You and I are fortunate to have this book available to us. Concisely and clearly each entry here contains the essential facts about the 'nations' without states. Quickly, quietly this book can be consulted whenever we discover or realize that as alert individuals or as scholars we are not omniscient. We can or must consult a reliable source about a nation' when we read or hear that one of them or its members have proudly publicized its identity by staging a demonstration or celebrating an anniversary, by protesting a grievance or petitioning some organization such as a church or the United Nations, or by committing a noble or atrocious act. This 'dictionary' is veritably encyclopedic in its scope."-From the foreword by Leonard W. Doob
