If Richard III had not charged to his death at Bosworth, how
different might the history of Britain have been?
Beginning in 1453 and ending in 1487, "The Red Rose and the
White" provides a gripping overview of the bitter dynastic struggle
for supremacy that raged between the houses of York and Lancaster
for thirty years, culminating in the dramatic events on Bosworth
Field in 1485.
As well as offering a comprehensive account of the campaigns,
battles and sieges of the conflict, the book also assesses the
commanders and men involved and considers the weapons and tactics
employed. Photographs, maps and portraits of the principal
characters help to bring the period to life, whilst the fast-paced
narrative conveys a sense of what it was actually like to fight in
battles such as Towton or Tewkesbury the effect of the arrow storm
and the grim realities of hand-to-hand combat with edged and bladed
weapons.
Skilfully weaving in political and social events to place the
conflict in its context, "The Red Rose and the White" is a
fascinating exploration of the turbulent period that would change
the course of British history forever.
