Very good information in this book

Highly recommend

If you want to pass your GCSE you should get this. Very concise and understandable but make sure you start early because there's loads to get through. If you get through it and make revision cards whilst you're doing it, not only will you have a great understanding of history to get you through life, the history exams will be so much easier for you.

Ok

Really helpful

As we’re in lockdown, which is very similar to Groundhog Day, I’ve had to buy various text books so that my son who’s in year 10 at high school can complete the work set. After a chat with his history team her, I found out that this is the book they use in class and is the work from which all home learning is currently being set from. It’s a great book, fantastic detail, pointers on how to answer the questions in exam style. It’s a must have if your kid is doing GCSE history.

Great
