Books on US foreign policy and world affairs

Sources on World Affairs
Most sources I use are regional in focus, and they are listed on the appropriate regional page. Listed here are primarily sources for analysis and background information (rather than daily headlines). Some sources on the domestic politics page also cover the world. My focus is not on headlines, but on background analysis. Sources in English and with free content only.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Arms control focus. (Up 1/23/11; posted 11/4/06)

Foreign Service Journal U.S. State Department house magazine. (Up 9/9/06; posted 6/4/04)
Country Studies The Area Handbook series, a volume on each country. One of the great sources of information on the world, published by our government, and it isn't propaganda. Covers politics, history, economics and offers the ever-popular table of ranks and insignia for the armed forces (this used to be a U.S. Army publication series.) Of course, the series was terminated in 1998. Stupid. Typical. Becoming dated, but valuable. Especially recommended. (Up 9/9/06; posted 7/8/00)

Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy We could be reasonable. (Up 1/23/11/05)
