Book Description
This medieval military history uses archeological research to shed new light on this significant and bloody battle in the Wars of the Roses.

Drawing on the discoveries of modern archaeological research, historian John Sadler pieces together what actually happened on that fateful day. In this vivid reconstruction of the battle, he offers unflinching insight into the cruelties of medieval warfare.
