The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors

byDan Jones

The Wars of the Roses examines the Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors, combining Dan Jones's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Together, these elements make The Wars of the Roses an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
