Very pleased with the product and service. My only concern is that as an overseas purchaser, I had to pay separately an additional amount for shipping. This may have been my processing error, but I don't recall a clear option at the time of placing my order.

About the AQA GCSE History Conflict & Tension between East & West Study Guide (Ages 14-16)

If your Year 10 or Year 11 pupil is tackling the Cold War for AQA GCSE History, the AQA GCSE History Conflict & Tension between East & West Study Guide (Ages 14-16) offers clear, focused support for the crucial 1945–1972 period. Published by CGP, this 72-page full-colour revision guide breaks down superpower relations, NATO, the Berlin Wall, and the Cuban Missile Crisis into manageable chunks, so your child can revise with confidence and walk into the exam ready to tackle eight-mark questions and source analysis.

Exam hints and tips page showing AQA History paper structure and depth study guidance
Clear exam hints and tips explain the AQA paper structure, depth studies, and source skills your child needs to master

Every page of this guide combines concise revision notes with engaging activities and exam-style questions, complete with full written answers so your child can check their work and learn the historian's techniques CGP builds in. The free online edition means revision can happen anywhere—on the bus, at a grandparent's house, or during a quiet evening at home—and the step-by-step worked examples show exactly how to structure longer responses, evaluate sources, and link causes and consequences across the Cold War era.

Worked exam-style question on NATO with annotated model answer and examiner tips
Fully worked exam-style questions with annotations guide pupils through crafting strong, well-structured answers

Because this guide is written for the AQA 9–1 specification, your child will cover exactly the content the examiners expect—from Truman's containment policy to détente—and develop the analytical and evaluation skills that earn top marks. The result is calmer, more purposeful revision: your son or daughter will know what to revise, how to practise, and where they stand before exam day arrives, transforming anxiety into quiet readiness.

Ideal for Year 10 and Year 11 pupils following the AQA GCSE History course, this study guide works equally well as a term-by-term companion or a focused refresher in the final weeks before the exam. Its combination of clear explanations, active learning tasks, and complete model answers makes independent revision straightforward, so you can support your child without having to teach the Cold War yourself.
