Our book, "Fire & Blood" is based on an earlier period in history called "The Anarchy." It is a real life accounting of an important event in Medieval, political history. The Anarchy took place centuries before the War of the Roses. And, despite the name, this conflict had nothing to do with the modern concept of anarchy. After reviewing the events of the real life "Anarchy", we drew comparisons between it and the events in the book we're reading. There are very important lessons to learn from this event that are relevant and applicable to the modern era.
