We have full reproductions of the CIA Factbook through the latest edition, with archival versions dating back to 2000. The CIA World Factbook is considered an invaluable “world encyclopedia” reference book. From the Library of Congress, we reproduce an outstanding set of “country studies” covering subjects such as geography, society, economy, transportation and communications, government and politics, and national security.

2006 Country Profile and Guide to the United Arab Emirates
Very disappointed. Progressive Management wants you to think this is something published by the U.S. Government. My suggestion, save your money and use Google and the U.S. Government web sites and do your own research. The content on this DVD is pretty much worthless and not user friendly. It even links you to pages no longer available on the internet.
