Product Description

Review
"The best biography of Richard III that has been written." A. L. Rowse, Chicago Tribune "Here, as nearly as patience, scholarship, and intelligent surmise can achieve it, is a definitive biography of Richard III. It is a noteworthy performance." Geoffrey Bruun, Saturday Review

Product Description
Paul Murray Kendall's account of the life of Richard III explores not only the man himself, but also the ways that he has influenced culture: Richard also played a central role in several literary works, most notably as a character of William Shakespeare's. Kendall's analysis of how others perceived Richard is central to the character study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard the Third - Exposed in Truth, 7 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Without a question, an outstanding factual look at the man whose legend was tainted through the centuries. Kendell demonstrates accurancy and the human factor which allows the reader to experience the drama and tragedy which comprised Richards life. Finally we have a history based on truth - not a victor's slander.

4.0 out of 5 stars As good an un-biased book as you will find., 6 May 1997
By A Customer
This author has attempted an un-biased, historically accurate tale of Richard III. He uses all available references to present the story of an often misunderstood King. While he is not always successful in being unbiased, this book is worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Ricardian biography., 30 April 2007
By Mr. A. S. T. Bateman (Halifax, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is superbly researched and written. Naturally, much of the content of any book on Richard III will always involve an element of conjecture or interpretation of what few facts surrounding the most fiercely debated mystery in English history are actually known. However, this book is written with such a commanding presentation of points and of evidence as to leave the reader with little doubt that it is the definitive book on this most fascinating king.

Despite its thickness, the book never delves into tedium and unlike many other books on the subject is not at all hard work. The chapter on Bosworth is excellent and presents a very detailed anlaysis of both the events and of the military strategies employeed by the three sides (Richard, Richmond and Stanley).

This book is a must have for anyone with aan interest in this subject, it is the biography of Richard against which all others should be judged.
