Backed by Georgetown's School of Foreign Service and now in its umpteenth edition since 1967, this is a genuinely useful directory for students eyeing global-affairs careers, with real practitioner voices mixed into the listings. It's reference material though, not a book to fall in love with, and its usefulness fades fast as editions age.
