About the Book
This new edition of Working with Sources: Case Studies in Twentieth-Century History has been revised throughout to bring it into line with current AS and A2 requirements. Three completely new case studies have been added and a brief historiographical guide has been included in every case study, with comments on recent publications and current controversies.
In Twentieth Century British History: A Teaching Resource Book, William Simpson expertly divides the subject into seven case studies which cover seven key topics on this period in British history. Each case study includes:
- an introduction to the topic, designed for the teacher, explaining the key developments and issues of the period
- an extensive set of sources
- sample questions that provide effective practice for all students.
Important exam topics covered are:
- Britain's decision to go to war in 1914
- votes for women
- Britain and Ireland, 1912–1922
- the changing fortunes of the Liberal and Labour Parties
- the General Strike, 1926
- Britain in the 1930s: depression and recovery
- British foreign policy in the 1930s.
Invaluable as a photocopiable teaching aid, Twentieth Century British History: A Teaching Resource Book is an indispensable addition to all AS and A2 level studies of this period in British history.
