PRINCES IN THE TOWER (RKPG)(ISBN=9780345391780) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Despite five centuries of investigation by historians, the

sinister deaths of the boy king Edward V and his younger brother

Richard, Duke of York, remain two of the most fascinating murder

mysteries in English history. Did Richard III really kill “the

Princes in the Tower,” as is commonly believed, or was the murderer

someone else entirely? Carefully examining every shred of

contemporary evidence as well as dozens of modern accounts, Alison

Weir reconstructs the entire chain of events leading to the double

murder. We are witnesses to the rivalry, ambition, intrigue, and

struggle for power that culminated in the imprisonment of the

princes and the hushed-up murders that secured Richard’s claim to

the throne as Richard III. A masterpiece of historical research and

a riveting story of conspiracy and deception, The Princes in the

Tower at last provides a solution to this age-old puzzle.

书籍介绍

"A SURPRISINGLY FRESH AND TREMENDOUSLY THOROUGH CONTRIBUTION to the debate...Weir's book is, no doubt, not the last on this subject, but it might be the best....[She] constructs a devastating case...[and] brilliantly illuminates the nature of late-medieval political power."

--The Boston Globe

"Weir takes on this delicious mystery with a fearsome vengeance. The result is a fascinating and completely credible account."

--Milwaukee Journal

"Did Richard III do in his nephews or didn't he? How much of the evil-uncle legend was later Tudor propaganda and how much was true?...This is exciting reading."

--The Denver Post

"A fascinating historical whodunit in which truth is more sordid than fiction."

--Kirkus Reviews
