The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses and the Rise… Tekijä: Dan Jones
Dan Jones' "The Hollow Crown" is a terrifically written narrative of the Wars Of The Roses, starting with a brief accounting of Henry V and quickly jumping in to the bumbling years under Henry VI, setting the stage for the Yorkist revolt and usurpation of the throne by Edward IV. This began generations of battles features warring cousins, ultimately culminating in Henry VII and the rise of the Tudors, who managed to bring together the quarrelsome Yorks and Lancastrians under one banner. Lovingly written with a keen attention to detail and a thankfully limited amount of conjecture. This is the second of Dan Jones' books I've read (the first being The Plantagenets, which is a sort of prelude to this book), and I'll admit I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.… (lisätietoja)
In my opinion this is the best single volume history of the period between the Normans and the Wars of the Roses. Very interesting period of English history.
I have been a fan of Dan Jones since I read his history of the Plantagenets. His foray into historical fiction at the beginning of what would become the Hundred Years War starts with action and doesn't slow down. The main characters, the Dogs, are introduced in a way that doesn't slow down the narrative but you still get to know each one through their different personalities. I look forward to his next volume in the series. And I really want to know more about the Scotsman.
