Excellent History!

I read this book many years ago and am purchasing it again since I seem to have lost my copy. I remember it as a very interesting and well-written account of the period. The events of Edward IV's reign have an important bearing on what happened to the Princes, and without a good understanding of those events, the reader cannot possibly comprehend what might have happened to them, and why. I would recommend this book in addition to any other on the period, except Alison Weir, whose twisted logic and biased view of this period has been exposed by Bertram Fields in his excellent book, Royal Blood: The Mystery of the Princes.
