Reviews

A very detailed and comprehensive textbook covering the three major strands of the Making of America topic which provides a clear balance to the GCSE. Filled with illustrations that engage the reader and prompt engagement as well as introducing the student to the unheard voices of the past. The real life experiences of the individuals who lived during that time help to bring the topic to life.
