In Years 9 and 10, Arnold-Forster gets more into Britain's dominions, and the book's tone is decidedly colonialist and, therefore, AO does not suggest Arnold-Forster for Years 9 and 10. The book also lines up less well with Churchill. But if you were curious to see a breakdown, this is what it might look like.

Year 10
In Year 10, Arnold-Forster lines up even less neatly with Churchill and would not have enough material to cover history adequately on its own, especially in Term 2, which corresponds to the US Civil War.
