| Publisher Description: From 1455-1487, the Wars of the Roses tore England apart. Subject to the rule of a weak monarch, son of one of England's greatest kings, Henry V, bit by bit, the kingdom overseas disappeared while the discontent within grew into civil war. Why did the Duke of York rebel against his cousin the king? How did England survive five kings and two usurpations in thirty-two years and the deaths of over 100,000 of its people? This is not only their story, but the story of England - of us. |
