Reviews
"A well-organized volume that should fill a gap in most reference collections. Articles are clearly written and refrain from subjective opinion. Students should find this source helpful." --School Library Journal
"Its approach, presentation, and coverage of the many changes that have occurred since the fall of both the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union recommend it for all school, public, and academic libraries." --Library Journal "A biographical dictionary covering figures such as Eamon De Valera, Ho Chi Minh...and Peter the Great faces a two-fold challenge: establishing a reasonable unifying premise and reporting information in a useful way. Founders of Modern Nations meets both challenges." --Rettig on Reference (Gale.com)
