Product Description

Product Description
The Access to History series is the most popular and trusted series for AS and A level history students. The new editions combine all the strengths of this well-loved series with a new design and features that allow all students access to the content and study skills needed to achieve exam success.

This new edition is revised and updated for the new 2008 AS and A2 specifications for AQA and Edexcel. It provides accessible and complete coverage of this period, from the presidential situation in 1890 and the reasons for entering the First World War, to the policies of the New Deal and the impacts of the Second World War. It charts the changing optimism of the time, from the apparent economic stability of the 1920s, the devastation of the Depression, to the optimism under Roosevelt’s presidency.

Throughout the book, key dates, terms and issues are highlighted, and historical interpretations of key debates are outlined. Summary diagrams are included to consolidate knowledge and understanding of the period, and exam-style questions and tips written by examiners for each specification provide the opportunity to develop exam skills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable introduction to subject, 8 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Helpful introduction for students new to subject. Clements is careful to show that Hoover, though scarcely up to the task of overcoming the Depression, wasn't quite the disaster of historical legend. Equally, FDR didn't turn everything he touched to gold. Perhaps a litte light on the transformation of electoral politics in the 1930s, but good nonetheless.

I bought this for my A level History course and so far it's the most used book in the lesson. Easy to read and has plenty of facts and is set out in a usuable way!


It's great

5.0 out of 5 stars a student's view, 11 Feb 2008
I bought this book about a year ago, just before my A levels, as I had a module on this in my summer exam. I used the book as my base for revision and got full marks in that module in the summer. For exams, and for revision, it's a brilliant book. Buy it!
