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, 102 countries and regions are
covered. Notable omissions include Canada, 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.
