Compiled from our three nation-specific "Complete Guide" titles, this collection includes Library of Congress Federal Research Division Country Studies, providing an exceptional review of each nation and its history. Books in the Country Studies series describe and analyze "political, economic, social, and national security systems and institutions, and examin[e] the interrelationships of those systems and the ways they are shaped by cultural factors.

Particular attention is devoted to the people who make up the society, their origins, dominant beliefs and values."
