Nine men, Oranges & mate games

The Great Political List Book: an inexhaustible source of facts and figures

• Who are Ruud Shock and Caterpillar Nooitgenoeg?
• Which cabinet only sat for two days?
• Who called Suriname a 'nest of thieves'?

The answers to these questions and many more surprising and useful facts are in this book.

All 526 lists in Nine Men, Oranges & Checkmates have been collected over the past 25 years by the editors of the opinion weekly EW and have been updated and supplemented since the first edition of 2010. The source was often their own magazine, but other magazines, newspapers and websites are also cited.

They are serious lists, unofficial lists, formal lists, useless lists, politically correct and incorrect lists. But they are all about 'politics' in one way or another.

A solid bundle for political junkies, journalists, politicians and other interested parties. This bound reference work contains an index of keywords and persons and has 564 pages.
