xviii, 274pp. Illustrated with b/w plates. Maps, chronological tables and genealogical tables. Indexed. Hint of discolouration to page edges, soiled on base of block. Neat, clean, square and tight volume free from annotations and inscriptions. A readable account of the Wars of the Roses which emphasises military over political history. Gillingham argues that the Wars of the Roses demonstrate how peaceful England was generally from the accession of the infant Henry VI in 1422 to that of Henry VII following Richard III's death at the Battle of Bosworth.
