Santiuste provides a clear and cogent survey of the battles that put Edward on the throne, and the ones that kept him there" (Dr Michael Jones, author ofBosworth 1485: Psychology of a Battle)"A valuable and thought-provoking addition to the canon, which ought to become required reading for anyone interested in the reign of the first Yorkist monarch" (Dr Hannes Kleineke,The Ricardian)"Altogether, this well-researched, cogently argued and eminently readable account paints a vivid picture of Edward IV as a courageous and able soldier, capable of utter ruthlessness when the occasion demanded" (Helen Cox, Towton Battlefield Society)"A readable, easy way to follow the ups and downs of the conflicts, skilfully using contemporary and academic sources ... Overall, this is a fine study of the Wars of the Roses that focuses on Edward IV and military operations" (Dr William Young, University of North Dakota)"A convincing, well-argued portrayal of one of England's most talented but perhaps least appreciated kings, focusing on his skills as a battlefield leader, an area in which he excelled" (historyofwar.org)
