Continuing the approach adopted by the earlier books in this series, this text focuses on three key case studies - the Great War; the Second World War; and the Cold War. The sub-title, 'What will the Twentieth Century be remembered for?' sums up the contents nicely - How do we decide what is significant in history? Chris Culpin raises lots of questions and makes pupils - and teachers - think hard about the main issues of the last century. A mixture of overview and depth, of famous people and 'ordinary' people effectively covers the key areas of the NC study unit. An excellent and provocative textbook that challenges as much as it informs.
