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).

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
