A Dictionary of World History is an alphabetical dictionary in the Oxford Quick Reference series. The book is derived ultimately from the two volumes devoted to the history of the world in the Oxford Illustrated Encyclopedia. From this base, the editors of Market House Books Ltd. produced a new history text, making use of their adaptations of this material for the Encyclopedia of World History and the history entries in the Oxford Paperback Encyclopedia. The entry for each country includes statistical information to supplement descriptions of the countrys location, economy, and history.
For this new edition, entries on contemporary subjects, including the biographies of living people as well as countries and conflicts, have been considerably updated. In addition, a number of entirely new entries have been added on events of recent history.
The dictionary is illustrated by spot maps of all the countries and some 25 historical maps. There is also a network of cross-references between related entries. Small capital letters or asterisks are used to indicate cross-references to other articles.
