5.0 out of 5 stars A handy reference for all history students, 17 May 2006
By Trevor Stafford "T Stafford" (Ipswich) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've just finished a history degree and found this to be a very useful volume to flesh out people and issues with which I wasn't familiar. The range is enormous, and entries give sufficient context and detail to offer genuine help. Yes, there's bound to be a dog-eared copy in the library, but that's no use if you're writing an essay in the small hours and you need a date or biographical details in a hurry! The net will also provide you with the information contained, but perhaps not as easily accessible. A sound investment for students of British history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book for someone in college or doing a degree, 23 Oct 2006
By Mr. J. A. Greenwood "jammygreeny" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As someone else has commentated when doing a degree that they used this book. I did exactly the same for reference when I did not know a certain something. This book is brill. Jonestly if you want a reference book for British History in the 20th century then get this book. I was tempted to sell this book on Amazon, but I am not going to do because I will proably use the book for the rest of my life.
