Critics Review
The Wars of the Roses have attracted many historians: some deal in the technicalities of military strategy; some chronicle the lives of the chief protagonists. Much rarer is the ability to combine all three - but Goodwin has pulled it off in this page-turning read - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
FATAL COLOURS is more than a book about one battle, vivid, humane and superbly researched though it is. It is an account of a moment of profound crisis in English politicsThis is a clear account of a great if doomed attempt by the Scots to free themselves from English domination. Good timing - SUNDAY TIMESGoodwin’s gripping narrative of the clash and its context makes plain that the modern and well-armed Scots, under the charismatic King James IV, might have turned the tide of our history - INDEPENDENTAbout The Author
