Review

A brilliant study of the period. Rich in historical detail, yet passionately written, the smell of battle seems to linger on the page. (Yorkshire Post)

It is hard to imagine a historian more in command of his subject ... The result is history as compelling as any novel. (Independent)

This is a splendidly and vividly written book. (Evening Standard)

Book Description

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