Yes as it is a history subject therefore its a bit lenghty.
paper 1 is easy and short paper 2 is lenghty and have to remember alot of things. Its upto you if you are interested in history and can learn alot than go for it.See the british history past papers they will help you to know about the questions. http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-optio...st-papers.html About the paper being general. See the syllabus of british history from below mentioned link. It will cover these areas. http://www.cssforum.com.pk/british-history.php The books i mentioned will help you to cover a lot of area of british history.This is not confined that everything will come in paper from these books Last edited by Shooting Star; Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 06:20 PM.

In 2012 both paper 1 and paper 2 of British History, were quite easy and expected.
Its a good subject to choose as British history is quite interesting. It gets a bit lengthy at times especially if you delve into details and contexts but its not boring at all. I am not sure about scoring trend though. The books to read are as follows 1.British History by Southgate ( Volume 2) (Paper 1 & 2) This book is a great concise introduction in simple language to building concepts, events, personalities, wars and pacts. The democratic development and agrarian/industrial revolution part is quite nicely written. 2- England Since 1688 By V.D Mahajan (Paper 1) This books is more advanced reading and needs a background information and contexts of british history. French Revolution and Napoleanic wars, Union with Ireland, William Pitt and American Independence are explained with details, quotations and perspectives. 3.Mastering B. History by Norman Lowe (Paper 2) Abook which is essential to read for Paper II. Its quite lengthy but easy to read and understand. I feel it is a textbook for Paper II 4.British History by P.C Thomas (Paper 1) A very good book for making to-the-point notes for Paper 1. Its like a textbook for Paper I. One can write a lot in history papers so I made bullet points and practiced writing answers with a watch in hand. If you have a fast and speedy handwriting and can form different perspectives to historical events, personalities, wars and pacts with arguments and logic and also if you are a secular/liberal than British History is definitely the subject for you. |

You may cover it within a month, but as being a history subject,it needs many revisions. So decide keeping in view time span available for you. Its a good scoring subject.

Yes brother i have both my graduation and Masters in Literature. Definitely you can go for British history. The better thing about British History is that over the years is has not remained low scoring at least. If it does not give very high marks , at the same time it does not disappoint either. I myself have this subject in my combination. And one good thing for you is that the students of English literature find this subject relatively interesting and familiar one. The reason is that we have gone through the History of English Literature and various movements in English Literature during our Masters and Graduations courses. Therefore, while studying British History we keep on comming across familiar personalities and incidents. In my opinion , based on my personal experience, its a better choice particularly for the students of literature.
