THE WARS OF THE ROSES.
By Hubert Cole. With illustrations & maps.
British at War series, general editor Ludovic Kennedy.
The dynastic struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York - the red rose and the white - raged for thirty years across the length and breadth of Britain. A series of battles, murders and executions swept England to the brink of anarchy, and decimated her royal houses. Out of this ferocious tale of vengance, treachery and bloodshed was born, on Bosworth Field, the great Tudor dynasty.
Hubert Cole brings gloriously to life the dazzling medieval pageantry of that epic conflict. Here is a story studded with the names immortalised by Shakespeare - Warwick the Kingmaker, Percy, Buckingham, Richard Crookback, Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou - and with the great battles of Hedgley Moor, Tewkesbury, Barnet and Bosworth Field. Sumptuously illustrated, stirringly written, this is history at its most colourful and dramatic.
