The Wars of the Roses from the point of view of the common soldier. Most previous histories have concentrated on the political and dynastic causes and convolutions behind the violence or the strategic and high level military action, if for no other reason than that is easier to discover. Goodman takes a foot sloggers eye level to find out what bivouacing in a sodden field with armour was like. Who had armour and who made up the masses of the armies who fought for the nobility's 'cause'.
