The score here is perhaps a little harsh, as this is a good book, but there is a reason for it. For those that have read the 'Short Introduction To' series of books, you will know that these books are normally quite objective, and provide a good source of information for those who wish to learn about a subject, or are students of it.

Not so with this book. It makes a good stab at being objective and informative, especially at the beginning, but as the book goes on it becomes more and more of the author's view.

I am a former member of the PC Brigade and I found this book an excellent introduction to countering PC arguments.

I am not against all aspects of PC but it has now become a bloated, arrogant,dishonest and ironically very intolerant creed. I realised that I no longer wanted to be PC when I saw so called liberals marching around London with placades saying " We are all Hezbollah now ". I suppose a placade stating " we are all medieval, homophobic, anti-semitic, misogynst, intolerant religious fascists now " would have been unwieldy.

Once a realised I no longer believed in PC I wanted to learn how to counter PC arguments and this book fits the bill as a primer.However Browne offers counter arguments to many of the dogmas ... Read More:

Used Price: £11.00

This book introduces us to many new insights into the political events from the last century.

Lee concentrates more on giving his own point of view and judgements rather than listing already established conclusions by other historians, for this reason (if you are using it for your A-Level course) it is far more suited to picking out quotes and evaluations than for systematic revison, in other words it is the book you turn to after you have learnt the basics of a subject and wish to give a historians unique point of view to gain top marks.

If you're studying History for A-Level this will certainly be a great benefit for your essays and in turn exams.

This is the third and expanded new edition of Pugh's classic textbook. Pugh deals with his subject matter chronologically, taking us masterfully from the age of Gladstone and Disraeli to the end of the Second World War and the advent of the 1945 Labour Government.

Pugh's book tackles all the most important themes in British politics during the era: The Liberal Governments of Gladstone, Disraeli, the late Victorian Conservative Party, the 'New' Liberalism, the impact of the First World War upon British politics, Conservative electoral hegemony in the inter-war years, the National Government and the impact of the Second World War.

This book will be of use to AS/A2 and undergraduate students, and, perhaps to the general reader ... Read More:
