The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors
The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors by Dan Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars The book is very well written and has the distinct advantage of being good enough for both the people that are knowledgeable on the subject but also for beginners who read about it for the first time. It has some small minor mistakes - usually in regards to external factors (like stating that Philip the Handsome was the son of Margaret of York when he was the son of her stepdaughter) that do not really influence the outcome or the conclusion of it but may occasionally have the more knowledgeable historians raise an eyebrow. The narrative is mostly centered on the classical view on events, so the Ricardians may feel slightly disappointed (although I don't feel it demonizes Richard III in any way, it does not give much credence to the most common Ricardian theories) - but since most of the Ricardian theories are still yet to have any physical evidence to back them up
