That brings back memories. I read that one and a newer one a while back during some mission prep. Never thought I would see it again. It was a hard copy at the time. Pre digital age.....

With the exception of them being made in the 1940's, would you still say there is accurate information to be had? I read the Iranian one and I liked it, the things about the culture seemed accurate enough to me.
