Description

2 paperback books in the history genre:
- Winter King: The Dawn of Tudor England by Thomas Penn published by Penguin.
Winner of THE HW FISHER BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE and History Book of the Year for the Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Times Literary Supplement, Financial Times and BBC History. In his remarkable debut, Penn vividly recreates the dark and turbulent reign of Henry VII. He traces the transformation of a young, vulnerable boy, Prince Henry, into the aggressive teenager who would become Henry VIII, and of Catherine of Aragon, his future queen. And at the book's heart is the tragic, magnetic figure of Henry VII - controlling, paranoid, avaricious, with a Machiavellian charm and will to power.
Excellent condition with only one spine crease to show it has been read.
- The National Army Museum Book of the Zulu War by Ian Knight published by Pan in association with the National Army Museum. Part of the Pan Grand Strategy Series.
A vivid recreation of the Anglo-Zulu War, one of the most dramatic in British history, drawing on the archives of the National Army Museum. Beginning with the British defeat at Isandlwana, going on to the Battle at Rorke's Drift and finally ending when the British took the capital of Ulundi. In this book, Ian Knight draws on letters and dispatches to bring to life this extraordinary war - one which saw great acts of bravery and courage on both sides.
Very good overall condition but pages have browned and the spine has a crease.
Price is per book.
