Complete 20th Century History for Cambridge IGCSE® & O Level

I really like the format of the book, I feel it is chronological and clearly set out. I liked the source work, the discussion points, quick questions etc. It is very colourful and includes maps, which I love! I will be ordering the book, especially as it has chapters on the new syllabus sections!
