The book contains 16 chapters, 2 appendixes, a glossary, subject and name indexes, and literature references.
The appeal of the book is also increased by several maps, illustrations, and detailed appendixes.
Some of these documents could have been easily placed in appendixes using smaller type fonts, thus making the book less lengthy.
