"Heinemann History Briefings" is a series for 19th- and 20th-century A level history courses. Each book contains articles by eminent historians on key topics within the A level syllabuses. The books give students access to up-to-date thinking without the need to tackle large volumes of material. This makes them suitable for essay work and teacher preparation. Another feature of this series is the inclusion of an examiner"s report section in which a student"s essay is assessed. The examiner"s comments and advice should be a useful aid in exam preparation.
