The Wars of the Roses

This book provides a dramatic narrative history of the Wars of the Roses, a period marked by intense civil war between the Lancastrian and Yorkist branches of the Plantagenet dynasty.

Dan Jones explores the complex political maneuverings, bloody battles, and the roles of key figures such as Henry VI, Margaret of Anjou, Richard III, and the Earl of Warwick.

The book offers a corrective to Tudor propaganda and provides a detailed look at the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain.

It is a compelling and readable introduction to this turbulent era in English history.
