Book Synopsis The English People at War in the Age of Henry VIII by : Steven J. Gunn
Book excerpt: War should be recognised as one of the defining features of life in the England of Henry VIII. Henry fought many wars throughout his reign, and this book explores how this came to dominate English culture and shape attitudes to the king and to national history, with people talking and reading about war, and spending money on weaponry and defence.
