I realize that Henry VI was not cut out for leadership, but I am beginning to feel perversely sorry for him -- everyone who writes about this period seems to loathe him. Wolffe is no exception, approaching his subject with thinly veiled impatience. This biography is well-researched, and I can't say that Wolffe didn't make his case, but at this point I would be interested to read a take by someone who can muster up some empathy for the poor child king.
