2.0 out of 5 stars Only for low grades..., 24 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Before I brought this book I decided to borrow my friend's to check if it was worth buying. How glad I am that I didn't buy it. It gives the very basic information, but that's where it ends. Our teacher warned us about the downfalls of revising entirely from a revision guide and this book shows why. It fails to go into any depth in any of the subjects, which is what is needed for any sort of good grade. Also there are no exam style practice questions, which are provided by many better quality guides. The pictures and maps are all drawn in a very cartoony way, so it is difficult to extract any factual information from them. Its only redeeming feature is the price, but it is still wasted money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Revision guide spoiled by inaccuracies, 22 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I was shocked by the number of factual errors contained in this publication-errors which would cost GCSE candidates marks in an examination. Contrary to what this book states Hitler did not 'invade' the Rhineland in 1936 nor the Sudetenland in 1938.Whoever drew the maps is unaware that the whole of Ireland was part of the UK before 1922. The Lusitania was not an American ship, nor were all the Allied troops at Gallipoli ANZACs-they were vastly outnumbered by French and British. I could go on, but this gives some indication of the shoddiness of the authors' research-unforgivable in an educational publication. To make matters worse I don't even think the crowded format-with every other word seemingly underlined or highlighted-is easy to revise from. I am afraid that this is one revision aid I won't be recommending to my students.
