"An invaluable guide for journalists, students, diplomats,
businessmen, and not least, politicians. ... The 1,000 entries

a precision that is truly admirable."
"Impressive.... Entries on subjects as diverse as the Kharijis, the
original Muslim "fundamentalists, " and Israel's 1982 invasion of
Lebanon are models of informed compression."
