3.0

I picked this book up cheap and actually found it very interesting. It goes into the history of the War of the Roses, the commanders, who was on what sides, the types of soldiers, their weaponry, and a look at the lives of Henry Tudor and Richard III. It details the rebellions and the gradual march to war which ends with the battle itself. The author indicates where he thinks each army was lined up according to eye witness reports and how the battle progressed and ended. For anyone interested in finding out more about the War of the Roses and the start of the Tudor dynasty, it is a good introduction.
