HISTORY
Multiple subjects in this and other sections may be used to describe a work fully: for example, a book about the Spanish Civil War could be assigned "HISTORY / Europe / Spain & Portugal" and "HISTORY / Military / Other"; a book about U.S. diplomacy in the 19th century could be assigned "HISTORY / United States / 19th Century" and "POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy".

An asterisk (*) denotes a heading that is new for the 2007 Edition.

Step 2:  Once you have selected your major heading, determine the specific term which describes your book.
