Summary
A portrait based on popular history explores the Hun king's pivotal role in the final demise of the Roman empire, describing how his barbarian forces employed brutal battlefield tactics and held Western Europe in sway for some fifteen years in the mid-fifth century. By the author of Genghis Khan. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The name Attila the Hun is a byword for barbarism, savagery, and violence. In the years 434-454 A.D. the fate of Europe hung upon the actions of one man, Attila, king of the Huns. The decaying Roman empire still stood astride the Western World, but it was threatened by a new force, the much-feared Barbarian hordes.

Today, Attila remains the most enduring bogeyman in history, a one-man wrecking ball that helped put the final boot into Rome’s decaying splendor. Masterful storyteller John Man brings to life this marauding figure of the battlefield and his descriptions of the Huns’ grotesque techniques of impaling enemies and unruly family members will leave you with curled toes and crossed legs. Packed with many new insights, Attila is a riveting work of historical scholarship that reads like an adventure story.
