A Dictionary of Twentieth-Century World History… by Jan Palmowski
Rather Brit-centric, but still useful. For instance, you'll find many British politicians you may never have heard of, but not Sam Rayburn or Harold Ickes. Although, having lived through half of it, I'm fairly well-versed in the twentieth century, this dictionary is exhaustive enough in terms of world history that I will hold on to it.
