From the Dust Jacket: "The second half of the fifteenth century was one of the most turbulent periods of English history. The present work is a military history of the Wars of the Roses. In the first part Anthony Goodman presents an overall view of the campaigns, from the first skirmishes of 1452 to the last campaign in 1497, and examines the generalship of the commanders in both camps. In the second part covering military organization -- how armies were recruited, paid, fed, billeted, armed and deployed -- he shows that in a period of rapid change in European methods of warfare the English were not so old-fashioned as has sometimes been supposed. In conclusion he assesses the effect of the wars on society in general. the book makes extensive use of fifteenth-century sources, both English and Continental, including chronicles, civic records and letters, and presents a vivid picture of the wars as they were seen and described by contemporaries.".
