The new editions of Ken Webb's topic books have been written with the New South Wales HSC Modern History Examination in mind. They strictly follows the outline of the NEW HSC history syllabus (2018-19). However, the format, detail and historiography it contains make each book an ideal companion for students in other states and overseas who are studying these topics.
The value of these books lie in:
their solid, relevant narrative detail
their inclusion of the views of several of the top historians who have written on aspects of this topic
their revision exercises
their advice on how to write examination-style essays
