| | Wallechinsky's interest and research pertaining to history, and the effort he made producing these books, was appreciated by me, and on behalf of those who read all three books, I would like to offer my gratitude. | | | People's Almanac III, the final piece of the PA trilogy, is another book, along with The Book of Lists series, that is enjoyable and interesting. | | | I nevertheless consider this book well worth the money and a good read. |

| | Book of Lists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Book of Lists refers to any one of a series of books compiled by bestselling author Irving Wallace, his son David Wallechinsky, and daughter Amy Wallace. | | | The first volume was initially controversial and banned in some libraries and parts of the United States when it was published due to, among other things, a chapter that graphically described popular sexual positions. | | | Wallace and Wallechinsky were also responsible for editing The People's Almanac which covered similar ground, as well as The Book of Predictions. |

| | "The World's 10 Worst Dictators"? (ZNet Blog) |
| | By the latter’s reckoning, none of the world’s 20 “worst dictators” held power in countries which Freedom House deemed to be anything other than “Not Free.” Leaving Reporters Without Borders aside, Wallechinsky’s list reads like he relied upon Freedom House-think a hell of a lot more than Amnesty International‘s or Human Rights Watch‘s. | | | Wallechinsky’s list isn’t quite an “Axis of Evil,” “Rogue States,” “Outposts of Tyranny,” or “Failed States” (also sometimes “Weak States"---depending on whether Washington would like to threaten them now or threaten them later) kind of list, either---not simply propaganda, that is, as opposed to the better-camouflaged variety. | | | Why would a list that purports to be “The World’s 10 Worst Dictators” (or 20 worst) fail to mention the regime that dictates over the lives of peoples not just within particular states---but internationally? |
