 Great - a must have for essay writing March 3, 2002

This book was primarily compiled by professors at Warwick University, where I am a student. When I realised this, I thought it was a ploy to get students to give them money. However, since using it, I wouldn't be with out it.While not every political word is included, it has basic summaries of key concepts as well as more technical explanations. If you are at all uncertain or you're looking for a good definition of a word, this should be your first stop. If you're a politics student or just curious, this is a cheap book that provides you with a great deal of information.

The Oxford Concise Political Dictionary is a must have for all those with even the slightest bit of interest in Politics. Having been designed for the use by Undergraduates and those in Politics it has almost everything you could desire in terms of Poltical Jargon and Terminology. I ordered it for my A-Level and it has proved to be an extensive help allowing me to have the extra bit more knowledge than the other books provides and giving me access to the grades that i thought impossible. It provides different ideologies views on the different subjects of politics and even has an appendix at the back full of the Political leaders of Russia, U.K., India, China, NATO and many other countries. This Dictionary with all of it's 1,700 entries has provided me and can provide you with incredibly useful knowledge for the future. I would recommend this book to all those who are either studying Politics at various levels or have jobs in Politics and even if it's just an interest in current affairs i would recommend it. A truly fantastic buy.
