From this chapter:
This very large (e.g., 1,216 pages) "handbook" seems to belie its title. Nevertheless, it does cover in four to five pages the essential political information of each country in the world. It is broken down into categories of: heads of state and government, cabinet members, leaders and programs of political parties, representation in national legislatures, mass media, and the composition and activities of major intergovernmental organizations. The section on intergovernmental organizations is particularly useful for getting a comprehensive and rapid explanation of their history and obligation.
