The Wars of the Roses
The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors
Thirty years of English dynastic slaughter, told so clearly you can follow who is winning.
Dan Jones covers the thirty years of dynastic war between Lancaster and York, from the deposition of Richard II through the battles of Towton and Bosworth to Henry Tudor taking the crown. It is a famously confusing period, full of men called Edward and Richard changing sides, and Jones tells it as narrative history at speed without losing the reader.

Isaac Butler
Beginning with the usurpation of Richard II and ending with the ascension of the Tudors, Jones manages a massive story with superhuman clarity and storytelling bravado.
