As is usual with this series, the book covers a popular combination of an Outline Study - the Cold War, and a Depth Study - Vietnam, and is written by senior examiners of the course.
As well as the content, carefully tailored to the specification, the book spells out exactly what is required of a pupil for success at GCSE, and each chapter develops a specific GCSE skill pupils need, as well as GCSE style questions for examination practice and revision. It is, indeed, the handbook for this particular specification.
Clearly laid out and inviting to use, this is very attractive if you follow these two topics.
