yep. three historians. i used bede, marx and von ranke. i should have used manning clarke as well but i didnt know much on him and i chose the three that i could talk about the best. guess it paid off

The Warren book is a bit shitty. It goes into detail one one or two historians from classical times to about the 18th century. Once you get to anything in the 20th century it turns into a total mess.

The BOS book is the 'Source Book of Readings'. It's 170 pages long and is a collection of sources you must refer to in your answering of the first and second questions in the HSC paper.

Chapter 5 is mainly about postmodernism vs. modernism (empiricism & relativism). I think the 'defining history' bit is defining whether history can exist at all as the true investigation of past events, or whether all the postmodernist views are right and history can't really succeed.

I suggest you have a look at the summary diagrams in that chapter to get an overall view of what Warren is talking about before you read the whole thing since the layout of the chapter doesn't help understanding.
