Summary "The 1997 CIA World Factbook" by the United States Central Intelligence Agency is a comprehensive reference guide published in the late 20th century. It provides detailed information about various nations and territories, including geographical, political, economic, and social data, aimed primarily at U.S. government officials and policymakers. The book gives an overview of each entity's demographics, governance, military, and significant issues. The opening of the publication presents the structure and components of the Factbook, explaining its origins and purpose in the context of U.S. intelligence. It describes how the Factbook compiles, integrates, and disseminates essential information about countries worldwide based on contributions from multiple U.S. governmental agencies. Additionally, the introduction outlines the inclusion of various countries, categorized by geographical location, along with details about significant changes made in the 1997 edition, such as updated maps, classifications, and enhanced demographic data. This segment sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of each country's profile, beginning with Afghanistan, while emphasizing the Factbook's role as a vital reference for understanding global dynamics.
