The second half of the fifteenth century was one of the most turbulent periods of English history. Popular knowledge of the bitter struggle for the throne between the rival houses of York and Lancaster derives largely from Shakespeare's history plays, which in their turn were coloured by Tudor propaganda. Most books on the Wars of the Roses have concentrated on politics and personalities. This new edition of Anthony Goodman's highly successful volume The Wars of the Roses is a military as well as a social history of the wars. It has been expanded to include the latest research and additional maps and illustrations.
