A booklet that looks at Churchill’s relationship with Alan Brooke, Wavell, Auchinleck and Montgomery.

We have used this source booklet effectively with pupils to support them in completing a piece of coursework that addresses the following title: 'Assess the historical significance of the Vietnam War for America’ A number of pupils have secured full marks (40/40) and the overwhelming majority have scored grades 7 or above (mostly 8s and 9s). *NB: The Vietnam War is not part of the Depth Studies and therefore any centre wishing to approach it as a coursework question needs to first have their scheme of learning - and the coursework title - approved by CIE. *
