The cover for Democratising History: Modern British History Inside and Out, showing a ruined school building with crumbling walls, no ceiling, lifted floorboards, a map of Britain with curling corners pinned to the left-hand wall, a broken blackboard on the floor, and a chair that has been knocked down on the right-hand side. At the centre of the ruin is a prominent picture of a modern school in excellent repair with children sitting at desks in orderly rows, looking at their teacher.
