ISBN: 0413183300
265 pages, several plates. The book is a scholarly, balanced study of Richard’s life, reign, and reputation. Ross traces Richard’s rise as a loyal Yorkist commander, his role in the Wars of the Roses, and the political circumstances that led to his seizure of the throne in 1483. He examines the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, Richard’s administrative reforms, his use of patronage, and the challenges he faced from southern opposition and Henry Tudor’s growing support. Ross’s portrait is neither romantic nor hostile: he presents Richard as an able, energetic ruler whose reign was undermined by political miscalculation, regional distrust, and the legacy of civil war. It remains one of the most authoritative academic biographies of Richard III. Original worn printed card covers. Edges foxed. Contents clean. Size: 15 x 23 cms.
