About

Making the connection between history and its relevance to the lives of today’s students, Stage 6 Topics in Modern History (Apartheid in South Africa 1960-1994, Power and Authority in the Modern World 1919-1946, Russia/Soviet Union 1917-1941 Second Edition, and The Great War 1914-1919 Fourth Edition) have been written specifically for the new NSW Stage 6 Modern History syllabus to help students develop the key historical thinking and writing skills required for exam success and beyond.

The series provides in-depth coverage of the new core topic , Power and Authority, and three popular elective topics Apartheid in South Africa 1960-1994, Russia/Soviet Union 1917-1941 and World War I.
Each chapter has been carefully structured to develop an understanding of syllabus topics and sections, combining a narrative approach with a range of historical sources and sourcebased activity questions to develop a deeper understanding of key syllabus content.
Comprehensive exam preparation support enables students to consolidate and reflect on their learning through end-of-section summaries and exam-style questions that directly address the syllabus outcomes and encourage students to think and write like an historian.
The Interactive Textbook provides rich digital content such as video footage of historical events and personalities and digital activities to bring modern history to life.
