Average Rating:
 Rating:  - very good but...has a non biased view and an excellent amount of information in here with many activities for a-level students however if there was to be a 2nd addition there would need to be some colour and some breaks in the paragraphs because much of chris's excellent views and information aren't poitned out so clearly Rating:  - An average textbookFor an A Level syllabus on Mussolini's italy, this textbook does the job - however it is always on the simple side, and the plethora of pictures and cartoons seem a little patronising. Does not go into sufficient detail on some aspects - is great for getting the information to achieve a good grade, but not so great if you really want to get involved in the subject. Rating:  - An incredibly useful A-Level TextbookAn unbiased account, in the main, of this difficult period of German History. Pitfalls that others fall into are avoided, such as the categorisation of Nazi Supporters/Weimar Losers into classes, rather than correctly, due to individual experiences. A must have for Modern History students! Rating: - A most complete account of Fascist ItalyWholeheartedly recomended for A-Level history students, with very little apparant bias, except for the slight underestimation of various factions, esp. the armed forces prior to Mussolini's accession in 1922. A great companion to this is 'Mussolini' by Denis Mack Smith. Rating: - The only one id recommendI first got recommended this book by my history tutor, to aid my learning, and with this book, i managed to achieve a substantially high grade. This book gives excellent detail, references and is brilliant for revision. I noted that during my course my understanding of the subject became more in depth. This book is a must for all A-level students |
