Another Tudor Read


Henry VIII and the Men Who Made Him by Tracy Borman
Publication Date -  January 18 ,2019
🌟🌟🌟🌟


It is hard to find new history books on Henry VIII that explore any new instances in his life.  What this book does different is focus on his male relationships and those that were exploited for power and those that suffered from them with their lives.  I am ceaselessly fascinated by the Tudor reign and this book does a great job of exploring the relationships between the men such as Wosley, Cromwell and Cranmer and the mercurial king.  I have done quite a bit of reading about the Tudors so am familiar with most of the players so since the mass quantity of names and title didn’t trip me up, I found this thoroughly enjoyable.   I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
