Country Studies Objective, comprehensive information on history, culture, ethnic issues, economics and trade, government, foreign policy, and military capabilities. Most studies include maps, charts, photographs, or drawings. These studies were originally published for the U. S. Army and focus primarily on lesser known areas of the world or on countries in which U.S. forces might be deployed. The series does not include most Western countries and some African nations. Studies included here were published between 1988 and 2000, and some of the information is probably outdated.
Publication date is given at the beginning of each study and at the end of each section of text.
