During the fifteenth century, England was split in a bloody conflict between the Houses of York and Lancaster over who should claim the crown. The civil wars consumed the whole nation in a series of battles that eventually saw the Tudor dynasty take power. The much admired historian Desmond Seward tells the story of this complex and dangerous period of history through the lives of five men and women who experienced the conflict first hand. In a gripping narrative the personal trials of the principal characters interweave with the major events and personalities of one of the most significant turning points in British history.

Review:
'It is hard to imagine a historian more in command of his subject, or better able to bring it howling and thundering to life... he directs his readers fastidiously and dramatically through the plots, the dynastic marriages, the murders... the result is history as compelling as any novel' Independent 'This [is a] splendid and vividly written book.' Evening Standard
Book Description:

Compelling account of bloody combat between the rival dynasties of York and Lancaster
