The few hundred cross-referenced entries presented by Ginneken (history of international relations, Utrecht U., the Netherlands) explain events, people, organizations, and concepts as they relate to the history of the League of Nations during its brief inter-war existence. A series of appendixes provide a reproduction of the Covenant of the League of Nations, as well as information on member states, the names of the Secretaries-General, the budget of the League, its organization scheme, organizations linked to the League, and the organization of the Secretariat. The author also provides a chronology, an introductory historical essay, and a bibliography.
