Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

I have tried to indicate clearly, either in the text or in the notes, what is fact and what is my own conjecture; and for conjectures of any importance I have given the reasons or evidence on which they are based. If the events of Richard's life and the general shape of his character had been previously established, I would probably have given freer rein to speculation. As it is, I have sought to hew him out of the facts, or as close an approach to the facts as I could make.

Synopsis:

"The best biography of Richard III that has been written."--A. L. Rowse, Chicago Tribune

Synopsis:

Paul Murray Kendall's masterful account of the life of England's King Richard III has remained the standard biography of this controversial figure.

Anglophile, May 14, 2009 (view all comments by Anglophile)
This is the best biography of Richard III and his times. You get a good sense of the turmoil and intrigue around the throne, and how quickly fortunes could change. Considering that Richard III was not yet 33 when he died in battle, it's astonishing how much responsibility he assumed and was given as a teenager by his older brother, Edward IV. This is a life packed with betrayal, exile, power, and loss.
