'Fitzroy Dearborn has by now established a niche in the publication of all-encompassing subject encyclopedias. This latest work from Fitzroy Dearborn is a welcome addition to its list, not only for its wide coverage, but also for its illumination of some dark corners in which propaganda can so easily undermine and tarnish access to information ... Social science collections will be incomplete without this Encyclopedia.' Reference Reviews 'Recommended for reference collections and wherever there is an interest in the subject and a need to facilitate the evaluation of information's credibility and significance.'
