Foreword
The study of History is one of the hallmarks of human beings, epitomized by the saying that “those who do not want to learn the mistakes of history are bound to repeat them”. It is arguably an area which humanity can only ignore at its own peril. This book is a welcome contribution to those studying History at A Level. It focuses on the crucial matter of sources of history. Many would testify that the recovery of proper and credible History hinges on the credibility of the sources used by a student of history. In that respect, this book does well in analyzing the different sources that a historian has at his/her disposal. It is my wish that those who will utilise this guide find it very useful, and contributes towards their knowledge of history, and passing their Advanced Level examinations.
