This review is from: Henry VIII and the English Reformation (Lancaster Pamphlets) (Paperback)

In researching the English Reformation and King Henry; I found this book to be the most concise and to-the-point writings ever written. Not only does he discuss the political and personal choices that Henry made; which brought about the Reformation, but he explains how different historians view and think about this time in history. If you know nothing about the Reformation and want an easy-to-read; yet accurate representation...you need this book! It is the one that will lead you to other writings on the Reformation as well.
