Nepal and Bhutan: Country Studies (Book)

Book description:

Prepared by Library of Congress, Federal Research Division. Research completed September 1991. Describes and analyzes the history, politics, economics, sociology, and national security systems of two Asian countries, Nepal and Bhutan. Also includes maps, photographs, bibliographies, a glossary and an index.

My thoughts:

Sponsored by the U.S. Army and written primarily for — um — diplomats, the book’s got a mondo section on Nepal’s national security. Still, overall it seems objective. It’s a hybrid between an academic study and a guide: as in-depth as the former, but more practical for U.S. travelers.
