This volume is a concise introduction to the history and culture of
the Huns. This ancient people had a famous reputation in Eurasian
Late Antiquity. However, their history has often been evaluated as
a footnote in the histories of the later Roman Empire and early
Germanic peoples. Kim addresses this imbalance and challenges the
commonly held assumption that the Huns were a savage people who
contributed little to world history, examining striking
geopolitical changes brought about by the Hunnic expansion over
much of continental Eurasia and revealing the Huns' contribution to
European, Iranian, Chinese and Indian civilization and statecraft.
By examining Hunnic culture as a Eurasian whole, The Huns provides
a full picture of their society which demonstrates that this was a
complex group with a wide variety of ethnic and linguistic
identities. Making available critical information from both primary
and secondary sources regarding the Huns' Inner Asian origins,
which would otherwise be largely unavailable to most English
speaking students and Classical scholars, this is a crucial tool
for those interested in the study of Eurasian Late Antiquity.
