St Albans is unique in having been the site of two pivotal battles during the Wars of the Roses, yet this is the first book-length account to have been published. It offers a gripping account of the fighting, and of the politics and intrigue that led to it, and it incorporates the results of the latest research. The authors also plot the events of over 500 years ago onto the twenty-first century landscape of St Albans so that the visitor can retrace the course of each battle on the present-day ground.
It can help a gamer understand the era of the battles and can be used as inspiration to design a game based on the battles. The maps especially would be quite useful in a game. So, the book overall is a great guide to the two battles of St Albans and the period that they took place in.
