Good accounting of civil unrests of Tudor England.

I found Tudor Rebellions to be a pretty interesting as well as informative book on the history of civil rebellions against the Tudor rulers from the reign of Henry VII to the death of Elizabeth I. Placed in a chronlogical order, this book bring to the light all the major and some of the minor rebellions that took place during that period. The book shows that in almost all cases, the revolts were very localized and have certain geographical limitation that made them failure in the long run. The book bring to light many of the more known rebellions into their proper perception. I have read both 3rd and 5th edition of this book. The 5th edition obviously proves to be the one to owned and read as the 5th edition definitely expanded on this subject matter with greater detail and clarity. The good thing about this book is that for its short length, the book does great credits to bringing to light many known and unknown rebellions that for better or for worst, brought changes to their nation. The book come highly recommended, its pretty well written, well researched and to the point. The writing style didn't bother me but it may distract some of the readers due to its "scholarly style" of narrative.
