What is Richard III: The Great Debate about?

Did Richard III Really Kill The Princes in the Tower? Richard cannot escape all blame as they were in his custody when they disappeared. It is quite likely Richard was present at the death of Henry VI, but on Edward's command, and there is no evidence that he wielded the knife. Similarly, there is no evidence he slew Henry's heir, Edward of Lancaster after the Battle of Tewekesbury. Yet, if Richard did not kill them, then who did? Richard III may have reigned only from 1483 to 1485, but those two short years and the events leading to them have provoked centuries of historical debate over Richard's character. Richard was not king long enough to write his own history, but the fascination he has cast over both professional and amateur historians continues today. This work was critically very well received and was a runner-up for the National Book Award in 1956, also picked one of the best books of the year by the American Library Association. In the Chicago Tribune, A. L. Rowse called it "The best biography of Richard III that has been written.", whereas Saturday Review's Geoffrey Bruun opined: "A definitive biography of Richard III. It is a noteworthy performance." The Times Literary
