No, this isn't a review of the entire 1,150-page book. I just wanted to comment on some misleading information contained within this tome.
According to this book, the monsterous regime in Syria is a "unitary multiparty republic." So is Lebanon. Yemen is just a "multiparty republic." So is Zimbabwe. Italy and France however, are just a "republics."
A visitor from another planet might wonder if they allow multiple parties in Europe, as they do in those seemingly more progressive Middle Eastern and African nations.
(For what it's worth, the UK is described as a "constitutional monarchy." But Uzbekistan? They're another one of those "multiparty republics"...)
Does anyone else find this somewhat...disingenuous?

I would think they mean multiple parties rule at once as a coalition. What does it say under Germany? Or Israel?
In america, Britain, France, etc one party rules at oine time.
Go on, review the whole thing. You'll have your posts set for the next 10 years :)
