The Iran-Contra Affair, 1983-1988
The Iran-Contra Affair: The Making of a Scandal: 1983-1988 reproduces on microfiche over 20,000 pages of rarely-seen documentation from the government as well as the private sector. The result is a uniquely integrated, thorough history of the policies, operations, and investigations that constituted the Affair, from the autumn of 1983 when Congress first put limits on official U.S. assistance to the Contras, to the criminal indictments of Oliver North, John Poindexter, Richard Secord, and Albert Hakim in spring, 1988.

United States Treaties in Force, 2013
This State Department Publication includes over 500 pages of treaties the United States is party to in 2013. Not only does this demonstrate the vast connections of globalization, but it shows students the complex nature and intricate detail involved in international relations. Every social studies student, at some point in high school, should have to scroll through this document. Lend-lease treaties are still on the books, the USSR is still here - intellectual property, amatuer radio, seismic activity measring stations, shipping, copyright - there's almost no end to the detail.
