The End of Empire

Commonly portrayed as a barbaric terror, Attila the Hun was, as the Romans of the fifth century knew, a sophisticated political strategist and empire builder.

It reveals how Attila dealt a seemingly invincible empire defeats from which it would never recover. Includes 3 maps and 40 illustrations.
