The Brothers York book cover

The Brothers York

A Royal Tragedy

Thomas Penn

Discover the gripping true story of the War of the Roses— a decades-long civil war for the English throne between two royal families, the House of York and the House of Lancaster. Follow the dominant house of York and the three charismatic brothers who became the figureheads of a spectacular ruling dynasty. But, with Edward IV's ascendancy, the brothers began to turn on one another, unleashing a catastrophic chain of rebellion, vendetta, fratricide, usurpation, and regicide. The Brothers York is a brilliant account of a conflict that fractured England for a generation, filled with vivid historical detail and as gripping as any historical fiction.

And is another excuse to plug The Brothers York. One of the best books I’ve read in the last few years.      source
