Customer Reviews

Not just a revision book!
"Total Revision - GCSE Modern World History " is not just a great revision book and a help whilst you do your GCSE course, it is a great book for someone who simply wants to know more about modern world history - like me! However it is a great book for GCSE; it has maps and is very pictorial, but does not miss out on all the facts. It also has good material on how to answer the questions set in a GCSE paper. Overall, this is a sublime GCSE revision companion AND an exquisite non-fiction modern world history informer. A must-buy.

The clearest, most helpful revision guide I've seen!
Before I got this book, my notes made no sense and my understanding of Modern World History was limited to a handful of notes on everything one would never be asked about the Treaty of Versailles. After a few hours with this book, I was able to confidently say that I was well on the way to an A* grade.

Unlike other guides, not only does it contain questions and answers, but also all of the required cousr material to be learnt, broken down into convenient sections to be revised in an hour or less. For every section there are questions, answers and tutorials and every chapter includes (a) real GCSE question(s).

All in all, an excellent purchase to ensure that one achieves the best possible grade.

Great for GCSEs
I used this book to pass my GCSE history. It was by far the best book for it and I didn't need to use any other books for revision
