Description:
Now in its second edition, A Short History of the Wars of the Roses is an accessible history of the English civil wars of the mid-15th century. It offers a comprehensive account of the major political events, detailing the 30-year struggle between the dynastic houses of Lancaster and York, and analysing the formal clashes of royalist and rebel armies, such as the battles at St Albans, Towton, and Bosworth. Grummitt explores the roles of the era's key personalities, such as the 'Kingmaker' Earl of Warwick, and Margaret of Anjou, who ruled for a time in her husband's stead highlighting how their actions shaped events on a local and national scale.
Grummitt places the violent developments of this complex period in the wider context of fifteenth-century kingship, and the development of English political culture without losing sight of the impact of the war on the lives of those who both fought in and were touched by battle.
Expanding on the successful foundations of the 1st edition, this 2nd edition has been updated to include-
- New material analysing the struggle for Ireland (1459-64)
- New research concerning the battle of Edgecote and the Northern and Lincolnshire rebellions of 1469-70
- A new section on gender and the role of women, with a focus on the agency of women and how they navigated the impact of the Wars on themselves and their families
- Expanded analysis of the role of chivalry, and its centrality to the gendered identity of aristocratic men and women

Bought as a gift
The young man is using the book to understand that we all have different love languages and I watch as he take interest in the content of the book. I gave both my daughters a copy last Christmas as part of their gifts as well. I have my copy of the book and it has helped me to understand others as well as myself more profoundly. Everyone one should get a copy for themself…a must have to help build better relationships.

Prescriptive approach to eye-opening information
This book has changed my perspective for the better. It is very prescriptive in its approach, but that's just what I needed. Not only can I better understand the love expressed by others in their unique way, but I have a better concept of how to express love in different "languages" and even "dialects." My understanding of others has greatly improved. I'm more excited to think of different ways to express my love. I just can't say enough about this book. It is well worth a second read as well just to be reminded of all the important messages. It also includes portions about controlling anger and apologies.
The book doesn't contain information that's mind blowing, but the way it's presented can be life changing for some. It's the package deal on how to be a better lover.

Recommend this book
Gary Chapman defines the daily tasks of Love and the work made to sustain a relationship as compared to the false notions that the media portrays about love which are actually false.
This is new learning and excellent book on love.
I only recommend this book on love and no other.

TPT is a wonderful Bible translation
I really enjoy The Passion Translation and have purchased many as gifts. The footnotes are very enlightening. Holy Spirit revelations were profound when reading this wonderful version of the New Testament.

Beautiful version of this translation
I love this translation of the bible. the pages in this version are a bit thicker than my last copy and so there is less shadowing of the backside of the page making it easier to read. The slightly larger print also makes it easier to read.
