A ragtag army, led by the mysteri­ous Wat Tyler and the visionary preacher John Ball, rose up against the fourteen-year-old Richard II and his most powerful lords and knights, who risked their property and their lives in a desperate battle to save the English crown. Dan Jones brings this incendiary moment to life and captures both the idealism and brutality of that fate­ful summer, when a brave group of men and women dared to challenge their overlords, demand that they be treated equally, and fight for freedom.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSummer of Blood\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Hot, brave and reeking with gore.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Times \u003c\/i\u003e(London)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Sound scholarship and sexy writing make this . . . essential reading.” —\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndependent \u003c\/i\u003e(London), Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Plantagenets\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“A real life \u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e, as dramatic and blood-soaked as any work of fantasy . . .
