London, Weidenfeld & Nicholson first edition - h/c in d.j. The Wars of the Roses have traditionally been seen as the last dying convulsion of the Middle Ages, a marker between the medieval and the modern. This book shows that actual battles of the wars involved far fewer men than has been assumed, and that, apart from the Northumbria and the Scottish border, England was a society organised for peace. 242 x 165mm., pp, 274, b/w plates, index, contents fine - no inscriptions, d.j. rubbed top spine - no tears or chips, NEAR FINE/VG.
