Reviews

"The appendixes-- chronology of events, terms, biographies-- and the annotated bibliography and index will retain value for many years to come...The consistent strengths of the series include its coverage of multinationals, descriptions of the labor situations and distribution of wealth within the region, inclusion of larger regional and international relations, and preparation of reports by experts." -- Choice
