Warwick the Kingmaker

Politics, Power and Fame During the War of the Roses

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Warwick the Kingmaker was a 15th-century celebrity; a military hero, self-publicist and populist. For twelve years, he was the arbiter of English politics, not hesitating to set up and put down kings. This work offers a fresh assessment of the man whose nickname has become synonymous with power broking.
