"Pretty decent historical overview of the War of the Roses, which I'd always heard about but didn't know much about, apart from Shakespeare. It held my interest, but the biggest problem with this book was trying to keep all the principals straight. A lot of them are dukes and earls who are all carrying the same titles, and one Earl of Arundel (for instance) might be loyal to one faction, and his successor who's also the Earl of Arundel might be loyal to the other faction. There are some charts of the various nobility in the front of the book, and I referred to them frequently - it's the only reason I managed to avoid getting lost."
