{"product_id":"richard-iii-9781445601823","title":"Richard III","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first biography to show what Richard III was really like. Not many people would claim to be saints  or alternatively  consider themselves entirely without redeeming qualities. Some are unquestionably worse than others  but few have been held in greater infamy than Richard Plantagenet  afterwards Duke of Gloucester and  later still  King Richard III. Richards character has been besmirched as often as it has been defended  and the arguments between his detractors and supporters still rage after several centuries. Was he a ruthless hunchback who butchered his way to the throne  a paragon of virtue who became a victim of Tudor propaganda  or (as seems more likely) something in between? Some would argue that a true biography is impossible because the letters and other personal documents required for this purpose are simply not available; but David Baldwin has overcome this by an in-depth study of his dealings with his contemporaries. The fundamental question he has answered is what was Richard III really like.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276038889525,"sku":"ByrdShop_1445601826","price":98.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781445601823.jpg?v=1780522336","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/richard-iii-9781445601823","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
