In search of history - John Aylett

'In Search of History: The Twentieth Century' examines the crucial events and turning points of a tumultuous period. Issues such as welfare, women and the vote, warfare, political developments and Britain's changing economy are included. On-going issues such as conflict in Northern Ireland, technology, medicine and the role of women are also presented in a lively, accessible and enquiring way. Exercises in the text help pupils to gain a clearer understanding of these events and to develop their historical skills.
