The International Year Book and Statesmen’s Who’s Who, 1959, edited by L.G. Pirne

[p035] The International Year Book and Statesmen’s Who’s Who, 1959, edited by L. G. Pine (Burke’s Peerage, £8 8s.) This, the seventh edition of what has become a standard reference work, runs to 1,476 pages, not including the index. The bulk of the space is taken up by information on the countries of the world, in alphabetical order—from which one may learn all sorts of useful knowledge, from the new French Constitution (given in full) to details about public services and communications in Trucial Oman—and by a directory of prominent persons. The latter’s scope is indicated by the fact that it includes entries on five Maliks—the Soviet ambassador, the Lebanese politician, two Pakistani diplomats and an Indian judge. There is also a fascinating section of ‘Reigning Royal Families’, from the United Kingdom to Sikkim, and notes on ‘International Organizations’, including the Socialist International, which, it appears, has an office at 280 Euston Road, London, N.W.1.
