5.0 out of 5 stars Really engaging
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI bought this to supplement our home education, but it's so good that it's taken over as the primary resource for my kids to learn history. It's well illustrated with a good range of sources and the variety of exercises is good. It's not just a revision guide, like so many books are now, this is a comprehensive text book. I highly recommend it, regardless of whether it's for GCSE prep, or just general education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful advanced history text to cover 20th century topics
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI teach International Baccalaureate history at one of the top schools in the world, and this book makes a nightly trek home with me. Students in IB or even AP Euro would have a hard time finding another source as rich as Walsh's effort. It is packed with helpful analysis, documents, quotes, review materials, wtc. I have used it to prepare for each of my senior level topics this year, such as WW1, Nazi Germany, the USSR, WWII, and the Cold War.
This book would do a very adequate job in assisting anyone preparing to work with such material, and would be considered one of my three most vital texts I use.
