Description
This copiously illustrated A-Z reference presents the most in-depth information available about the various conflicts the world has endured, local, regional, and international, since World War II. Some 142 conflicts are discussed and analyzed. The Encyclopedia of Conflict since World War II, with its coverage of all the countries of the world, fills a critical need for clear, comprehensive explanations of events not covered in such detail in any other reference source. Entries end with an extensive bibliography; and the encyclopedia includes maps, chronologies, and a general bibliography, as well as an index designed to make the reader understand the correlation and relationships between individual conflicts.
Reviews / Votes
'This work fills a critical need for a clear, in-depth explanation of recent events ... A work that should be in every larger public and university library.' Library Journal 'The academics who wrote and signed the articles delve into the geopolitical implications of events seemingly limited to a small part of the world and relate events to political trends and military strategies. The index is a powerful tool, identifying discussion of specific events, persons, weapons, and organizations.' Rettig on ReferenceMore details
