YALiving History series.England presents a reliable overview of the lives of British people from all walks of life. Illustrations and boxed quotations create infrequent breaks, and visual material is uninspired. Nazi's tight focus makes this volume more successful. Primary source quotations and compelling (albeit horrifying) details are explicit; period photos are effective. In both books, pull-out boxes define some words, but a glossary would have been helpful. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these Living History titles: Life in Charles Dickens's England and Life in a Nazi Concentration Camp.
