I have started reading for my next Open University course, AA312 Total war and social change: Europe 1914-1955. The course doesn't start until next February but the course materials will probably arrive before Christmas and it doesn't hurt to start a little background reading now. On the Open Uni website forums some fellow students have posted a few suggested readings and the BCU library has some of the books.
Considering BCU doesn't have any history courses it has a surprisingly OK selection of history books in the library. Actually i tell a lie, they have just started a new course History and its Contemporary Application BA(Hons). So hopefully that will mean an even bigger selection of history books in the library in future. (Update : the course has been postponed for a year. Boo!)
Anyway i have just read Henig's "Versailles and after 1919-1933" (very easy to read actually, its only a short pamplet. Now i have started on Lieven's "Russia and the origins of the first world war", which wasn't a suggested read but looks relevant anyway.
