Cook, Bernard and Dumitru Preda, editors, United States of America and Romania:

Cook, Bernard, ed., Women and War: A Historical Encyclopedia from Antiquity to the

Present (Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO, 2006), 2 vols.

“…a reference no collection should be without: from specialty military

collections to general-interest public library holdings, WOMEN AND WAR

offers the browser and researcher an A-Z compendium of facts organized by

topic. Listings by both war and biographical sketch of individuals allow for

easy cross-referencing, while listings often run several pages charting history,

culture, and including bibliographic references at the end of each article. Small

black and white photos, cross references within volumes for further follow up

reading, and an attention to detail make WOMEN AND WAR a recommended

pick.” Diane C. Donovan, California Bookwatch

Cook, Bernard, co-editor with Susan V. Nicassio, Michael F. Pavkoviv, and Karl

Roider, Selected Papers of the Consortium on Revolutionary Europe 2002

(Tallahassee: Florida State, 2002).

Cook, Bernard, ed., Europe since 1945: An Encyclopedia (New York: Garland

Publishers: 2001). I wrote over 200 of the entries (over 150,000 words) and

recruited 280 scholars from 30 countries to collaborate on this project.

Reviewed by David Ettinger, George Washington University, in Library

Journal. According to Ettinger, the work is “impressive.” He writes “Although

not as inclusive as Derek Urwin's Dictionary of European History and Politics

Since 1945 (Addison-Wesley, 1996), this is a work of far greater scope and

depth . . . this commendable achievement is a useful contribution to the

reference literature on contemporary Europe that will be welcomed especially

by academic libraries.”

American Reference Books Annual, 2002, wrote, “An admirable and

outstanding achievement....The scope and depth of this work result in a

significant contribution to reference sources on contemporary Europe. It will

be an excellent starting point for scholars and researchers and a useful tool for

reference staff.”

Against the Grain, September 2001, wrote“...offers an up-to-date, thorough

treatment of the forces making up recent European politics and history....

Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin, June 2001, wrote “The subject guide

allows the reader to scan all of the entries in a few minutes, making the

encyclopedia an efficient browsing source.... Europe Since 1945 is a resource

that will be used by academic and public libraries by students and general

readers needing background information on recent trends, issues and history.”

strong enough to look like a leading candidate for our annual 'Top Ten' awards. Whether it will

ultimately unseat The Oxford Companion as the WWII encyclopedia of choice will of course

depend on personal preferences among the buying public...Truth be told, though, it's hard to go

wrong with either book. Every WWII library should have a solid, reliable encyclopedia, and both

of these fit the bill. Those who can afford to do so should acquire both."
