Moral decadence did not contribute to the fall of the Roman Empire,
but political instability that was most strongly reflected in a
weakened army did, writes Hans Delbruck in volume 2 of "History of
the Art of War." The rise of sectionalism and the constant
overthrowing of emperors left the empire without a secure superior
authority demanding the loyalty of the legions and without the
money to support them. Delbruck's celebrated work traces the
collapse of the Roman military system and its replacement with
barbarian mercenaries by the fourth century, following the
invasions by the Germanic peoples.
"The Barbarian Invasions" opens with a discussion of the
military organization of the early German tribes, compares it with
that of the early Roman legions, and goes on to show how tactics
and strategies changed after entire peoples such as the Goths,
Vandals, and Burgundians migrated to Roman soil and formed an
uneasy alliance with the Romans. It ends with an examination of the
decline of the Germanic-Romanic military system in the Middle Ages
and the rise of the feudal system.
This Bison Book edition marks the first appearance in paperback
of the English translation of volume 2 by Walter J. Renfroe Jr.

Hans Delbruck's four-volume "History of the Art of War" is
recognized throughout the world as the definitive work on the
subject. Appearing in an English-language paperback edition for the
first time, volume 1 analyzes in vivid detail the military tactics
and strategies used by the great warriors of antiquity. Delbruck
disputes some points in classical history and separates fact from
legend in his objective reconstruction of celebrated battles
stretching from the Persian Wars to the Peloponnesian War,
Alexander's campaign to conquer Asia, the Second Punic War and
Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, and the triumph of the Roman
legions and Julius Caesar. Walter J. Renfroe Jr. based his
much-praised English translation on the third (1920) edition of
volume 1.
