Thomas Penn's remarkable new telling of the wars of the roses takes us inside a conflict which fractured the nation for more than three decades. During this time, the house of York came to dominate England, wresting power from the house of Lancaster. At its heart were three charismatic brothers⁠—Edward IV; George, Duke of Clarence; and Richard, Duke of Gloucester⁠—who became the figureheads of a spectacular ruling dynasty and promised a renewal of royal authority. The story of a warring family unable to sustain its influence and power, The Brothers York brings to life a dynasty that could have been as magnificent as the Tudors went on to become. Its tragedy was that, in the space of one generation, it destroyed itself.
