In a story that spans most of Europe and the Middle East, Frank McLynn follows these larger-than-life rulers through their exploits--fighting vicious wars; engaging in ruthless dynastic intrigue, often against each other; and holding their father's far-flung kingdom together--as Richard crusades in the Holy Land and John clashes in disastrous succession with his brother, his nephew, the pope, and his own barons.McLynn has returned to the original sources to discover what Richard and John, these warring sons of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, were really like, and how their history measures up to the myths. "With narrative panache and anecdotal detail," as the Independent acclaims, McLynn restores the truth behind the tales to help us discover once again that "Richard was everything you'd hoped for, and his brother John was the toad you'd always suspected.""A ripping good yarn of galloping prose." --Choice"A vast array of characters, from popes to holy roman emperors to Islamic warriors, and... locations, from Ireland to Sicily to Outremer." --Library JournalFrank McLynn is the author of many critically acclaimed books, including Napoleon, 1066, Villa and Zapata, and Wagons West.
