The End of Empire: Attila the Hun and the Fall of Rome

A bold new account of Attila the Hun as empire builder and political threat to Rome.

History remembers Attila, the leader of the Huns, as he was perceived by the Romans: a savage, uncivilized barbarian brutally inflicting terror on whoever crossed his path. Drawing on original texts, including first-person accounts by Roman historians, and filled with visuals of Roman and Hun artifacts, historian Christopher Kelly creates a novel and quite different portrait of this remarkable man.
