Countries of the World series.
The surveys in this series follow a three-part format: an overview, a "Closer Look" section that discusses country-specific topics at length, and a section about the subjects' relations with North America. Afghanistan includes the ousting of the Taliban, but Iraq stops before the most recent war. Captions and sidebars interrupt the text, but the gorgeous color photos are perfect for browsing. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Countries of the World titles: Iraq, Afghanistan, and Malaysia.]
