Description

Describing approximately 1,000 books published between 1986 and late 1993, this work provides readers with a selective guide to English-language publications on the subject of Eastern Europe. It covers general studies of the area as well as works on the individual countries of Albania, Bulgaria, the former Czechoslovakia, the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia. In addition to bibliographic and descriptive information, the authors also include citations to book reviews. A companion to their Russia and the Former Soviet Union (Libraries Unlimited, 1994), this volume also focuses on the social sciences and the humanities. As interest about this part of the world continues to build and English-language publications about it proliferate, Burger and Sullivan's guide is a pertinent addition to academic and public library collections.
