This
website contains the on-line versions of books previously
published in hard copy by the Federal
Research Division of the Library of Congress
under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program sponsored
by the U.S. Department of Army. Because the original intent
of the Series' sponsor was to focus primarily on lesser known
areas of the world or regions in which U.S. forces might be
deployed, the series is not all-inclusive. At present, 101
countries and regions are covered.
Notable omissions include Canada, the United States, France,
the United Kingdom, and other Western nations, as well
as a number of African nations. The date of information
for each country appears on the title page of each country
and at the end of each section of text.
