Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Spirited . . . An elegant, even-handed and well-researched account of a fascinating period (Jonathan Wright, Tablet)

A fine, expansive drama (The Times)

This is a book that enacts its assumptions, suggesting what's at stake historically through sheer resonance and drive . . . this unabashedly narrative approach highlights how the on-off struggle threw England into turmoil in the reign of six successive kings (Scotsman)

Well-written and readable . . . readers will be both entertained and instructed (BBC History Magazine)

Reseña del editor:

THE WARS OF THE ROSES is the definitive account of one of the bloodiest episodes in British history - wars between the houses of York and Lancaster. Trevor Royle provides a military history of the Wars while placing the conflict in the context of the time. This was a period with a rich legacy: William Caxton introduced the art of printing; there was a growing body of literature, such as Chaucer, in the English tongue; architecture flourished and great educational institutions were born such as Winchester School and King's College, Cambridge.
