Product Description

Review

'Royle calls on an impressive range of materials (supported by an excellent bibliography) to offer a judicious review of most of the issues currently confronted by social historians. His agenda contains both traditional and novel elements all are presented with admirable clarity and balance. A volume which shows an astonishing command of such a wide range of material will long prove essential.' --The Times Literary Supplement

'This book goes beyond the merely useful business of historiographical summary, and encourages students to think more deeply about the significance of historical developments.' --The Times Higher Education Supplement

The Times Higher Education Supplement

'a succession of masterly summaries of current thinking on major historical issues.'

Arthur Marwick

I bought this to go along with my history course at uni and it has helped significantly. It arrived very promptly and in good condition considering it was second hand. Overall very pleased with my purchase.

Very lengthy and in-depth book on modern British history 31 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I bought this book because it was recommended by my college. However, it is very detailed and not easy to read. It gives many facts and figures but I often find myself looking for other books to help me understand aspects of history. I would not recommend this book.
