Conjuring up images of savagery and ferocity, Attila the Hun has
become a byword for barbarianism. But, as the Romans of the fifth
century knew, Attila did more than just terrorize villages on the
edge of an empire. Drawing on original texts, this riveting
narrative follows Attila and the Huns from the steppes of
Kazakhstan to the opulent city of Constantinople and the Great
Hungarian Plain, uncovering an unlikely marriage proposal, a
long-standing relationship with a treacherously ambitious Roman
general, and a thwarted Roman assassination plot. Attila the Hun
and the Fall of Rome reframes the warrior king as a political
strategist, capturing the story of how a small, but dedicated,
opponent dealt a seemingly invincible empire defeats from which it
would never recover.
