Description
For this revised edition of his standard work, A.J. Pollard has incorporated new research and consideration of the debates which have emerged since The Wars of the Roses was first published in 1988. These include the new stress on 'constitutional' history, intensified dispute about the origins of the wars and re-evaluations of key personalities.
