Attila, A Barbarian King Who Challenged Rome

Attila, A Barbarian King Who Challenged Rome

by John Man

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2006
  • HARD COVER
  • 336 PAGES

A brisk, popular account of the life, political derring-do and military exploits of the fifth-century conqueror. Man interweaves his own research and travels with what little is known of the fearsome Huns and westward push from the Russian steppes. For a brief moment the Hun Empire stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Rhine, and south to the Baltic.  (HGR46, $25.95)
