For those of you who share my interest in history: One of the - TopicsExpress



          

For those of you who share my interest in history: One of the books I read this past spring/summer was The Plantagenets by Dan Jones--a young, and deservedly acclaimed historian and journalist; hes a columnist for the London Evening Standard and also writes for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Spectator and The Literary Review and his first book, Summer Of Blood: The Peasants Revolt of 1381 was an Independent Book of the Year--Im currently reading the next book in what I assume will be a series, The Hollow Crown: The Wars Of The Roses And The Rise Of The Tudors and its really first rate--well researched and the writing is crisp, vivid and accessible--if you enjoy Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, you will very much appreciate Dan Jones.
