Question: Can you recommend any books about the War of the Roses!?
Of course, I am referring to the series of civil wars fought in England not the Michael Douglas movie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Depending on what kind of history you like to read, Alison Weir's books are very popular as they deal (though not exclusively!) with the personalities involved!. Try this:

http://www!.amazon!.co!.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN!.!.!.

I've read many of her books and found them tremendously readable, but haven't yet tried this one!. Difficult to keep up with her output, and my other reading! I especially enjoyed all her books on the Tudors!.

Good luck!.
