Product Description
Product Description
The vicious conflict between the English noble houses of York and Lancaster—known as the War of the Roses—marked the end of medieval England and the birth of the Renaissance. Here is a concise and fascinating study of that 30-year period, which recounts the secret plots, hidden romances, royal murders, great battles, political intrigues, and broken promises. Written by a popular and well-known military historian, it follows the collapse of the great Plantagenet dynasty, which had ruled all of England and much of France for more than 300 years, and the rise of the Tudors, destined to dominate British political life during the 16th century.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wars of the Roses (Paperback)
The book The War of the Roses is a book about the conflict between the King, Lancastrians, and Yorkist. I like the book because it was an easy to read without huge words only University professors can understand. What I didn't like about the book was the fact that it was really confusing at times, and it had too many people, some who are briefly in the book but it is easy to make the mistake of thinking he was a big player at the time. Overall, I would say that this book is for older students than middle schoolers.
