A comprehensive guide to the IGCSE History course
As my IGCSE examinations are looming, I decided to invest in a series of revision guides. This comprehensive History guide gives an overall description of many of the important factors in the IGCSE History syllabus, including the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War, the League of Nations and the UN, and many more. Unfortunately, it only features a single page in relation the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is a major part of my course. The only other issue which I felt could be improved, is that the topics lack enough detail for them to be used as a sole source of revision. But for easy understanding and practise of the IGCSE History subjects, it is a good buy.

Twentieth Century History
I bought this book, amongst others, to teach IGCSE History. The first year I used mainly this book with the students. It is closely related to the course and covers most of the topics well. It also has review sections which are quite useful at the end of each section. However I have now discovered the excellent book by Ben Walsh : Modern World History and now use this as the main textbook. I still use the MacAleavy for extension work for the more able students.
