A lively core text for GCSE Modern World History Courses. It includes in-depth coverage of the main historical events of the twentieth century and assignment units with suggestions for relevant individual and group historical enquiry, and emphasising the development of empathetic skills. This textbook contains over 170 exercises based on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. The exercises adopt a stepped approach, with the later questions of each exercise encouraging a more free ranging response. As a skills-based book, the exercises seek to bring out the ability to compare and contrast different types of evidence, to recognise the limitations of evidence and to deploy evidence in support of a particular argument. There are many exercises designed to develop emphatic skills. Most chapters contain assignment units. Unlike many evidence based texts, this book also provides a substantial element of narrative on which the pupil is tested. The source material is continually integrated with the narrative to encourage cross-referencing skills.

This title, specially geared to the requirements of the GCSE syllabuses, examines the Great War, from the experiences of the soldiers in the trenches to the impact of the war on civilians working on the home front. Aspects of warfare are given coverage, including the development of modern weapons such as the tank and aircraft, and the use of gas. Emphasis is given to specific battles of the war including the Somme, Verdun, Ypres and Jutland. The author also asks, why did Germany lose the war, did the peace settlement mark the beginning of a real truce, and how did the legacy of the war affect the civilian population - especially the role and status of women.
