 A comprehensive, almost encyclopedic treatise covering the policies of some four dozen countries in the Middle East, Africa, South and Southeast Asia and Australia, as well as the strategies of outside powers. The analysis is cautious and eschews prediction. Ferenc A. Vali, taught government and international relations in his native Budapest and at the University of Massachusetts. He died at the age of 79 years. A lawyer by training, Mr. Vali was appointed a professor at the University of Budapest in 1946. He and his wife, Rose, were imprisoned on political charges five years later but were released at the time of the 1956 Hungarian uprising. When Soviet troops put down the revolt, the couple escaped to this country by way of Vienna and London.Mr. Vali took a research position at the Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. He joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst in 1961 and retired as a professor of international relations in 1975.
