?This dictionary is a model of its genre in both form and content
and will likely become for all large libraries the standard source
on the subject in any language for decades to come. The authors,
both American professors of European history, bring to their task
specializations in German and Russian history that lend balance to
the 324 biographies of political and military figures who dominated
the conflict. Sketches are well cross-referenced and include lists
of works consulted; a master bibliography toward the end of the
book cites the literature in six languages written through the
1970s and is followed by an exhaustive index. An excellent
fifty-page introduction preceding the body of the text traces the
war from its origins to the peace settlement and is documented with
footnotes and eight maps. Two appendixes contain a useful monthly
chronology of events and a ... list of chief occupations of
biographees by country before, during, and after the war. The
publisher is to be congratulated for the volume's handsome format
and printing art too often absent in similar
dictionaries.?-Reference Quarterly
