Race for the Iron Throne's Steven Attewell will be sharing some of his work on Tower of the Hand, offering his historical and political insights on A Song of Ice and Fire. His previous series include Hands of the King, Hollow Crowns and Deadly Thrones, and A Laboratory of Politics. Now Steve turns his attention toward the Blackfyre Rebellions. In Part II: The First Rebellion and the Reign of King Daemon I, Steve examines the course of the First Rebellion, his theory about the military strategy behind the battles, and how much we can learn from a single coin.
