ABSTRACT

This book concludes with a survey of the different types of primary sources available for the student of twentieth-century history. A similar approach was provided in the final chapter of the volume preceding this oneAspects of British Political History 1815-1914. In some instances, general points will be common to both, although examples and chronological references obviously differ. The reader of both volumes will therefore detect some overlapping, but also a number of contrasts between observations on the sources of the two periods: 1815-1914 and 19141995.
