    I 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
    Reviewed in the United States on 14 April 2006
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I 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.
