This book is more or less a compilation on what you can find on the CIA World Fact Book website. But, it has proved to be invaluable to have a hard copy of the information at your disposal. I would recommend the author to make an updated version, but still rather useful.
This book describes facts and events that are not easy to find in the press. It gives the reader an insight about world political games and the countries which will shape the future of the world. Melissa Rossi is a humorous and opinioned writer and this book, easy to read and understand, will lead the reader into more reading about other countries and other people, which is very important to open our mind and to understand our geopololitical planet.
This book gives a good quick overview of situations with welcome bouts of humor, but it is horribly outdated. The book was written before Saddam Hussein was "found," so be mindful that politics and the landscape of the war have changed greatly since the book went to press.
The book contains interesting anecdotes and facts on various countries of the world. It is pretty hard to put down.Like GUINNESS WORLD'S RECORD, it needs to be located in the bathroom as short reading materials. The content is amusing and entertaining, something to occupy one's time in a more productive way.
Sit down, kick back, and get plastered while you read this book.Obviously the author did when she wrote it.So full of holes, contradictions, and glaring fairy tales that it makes "Peter Pan" look like a history channel documentary.
