The Wars of the Roses by Aj Pollard
'...Pollard writes well and persuasively, and his analysis is based on a thorough reading of the evidence, both primary and secondary. This little book will be useful both to those who are approaching a difficult period for the first time and those who want to reconsider their own views on it.' Times Literary Supplement
