Two works one might expect to have already covered the contents of Stewart's book, Bertold Spuler's Rulers and Governments of the World (LJ 10/15/77) and Peter Truhart's Regents of Nations (K.G. Saur, 1984, 1987), both fall short. Spuler's book lists only a fraction of those found in Stewart's. And whereas Truhart's book is fairly comprehensive, its broad arrangement and almost total lack of an index make it difficult to use. Stewart's organization and his index, which purports to list over 10,500 names, make his work an indispensable addition to collections for specialists and generalists either for biography or the chronology of various African political entities.
