From the publisher
First line
The civil war known as the Wars of the Roses were fought between Yorkshire and Lancashire, identified by white and red roses respectively, and lasted thirty bloody years, inflicting great damage to the land its people and killing so many of the aristocracy that a new nobility had to be created in the reign of Henry VII-a good king who brought peace and prosperity to his kingdom, unlike his predecessor, the usurper Richard III, who stole the throne by deceit and foul murders.
From the rear cover
This book takes a look into the 'Civil War' more commonly known as the Wars of the Roses, and focuses on the uniforms and appearance of the men fighting in this long, bloody war.
