<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Conjuring up images of savagery and ferocity, Attila the Hun has become a byword for barbarianism. This history reframes the warrior king as a political strategist who dealt a seemingly invincible empire defeats from which it would never recover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>History remembers Attila, the leader of the Huns, as the Romans perceived him: a savage barbarian brutally inflicting terror on whoever crossed his path. Following Attila and the Huns from the steppes of Kazakhstan to the court of Constantinople, Christopher Kelly portrays Attila in a compelling new light, uncovering an unlikely marriage proposal, a long-standing relationship with a treacherous Roman general, and a thwarted assassination plot. We see Attila as both a master warrior and an astute strategist whose rule was threatening but whose sudden loss of power was even more so. <em>The End of Empire</em> is an original exploration of the clash between empire and barbarity in the ancient world, full of contemporary resonance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] first-rate history [that] provides a singularly fresh look at a factitious period in the life of Ancient Rome.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>Accessible history that enlightens as well as informs.-- "Richmond Times"<br><br>Kelly goes beyond the conventional mode and bravely ventures into...military detail.--Edward Luttwak "New Republic"<br><br>Vivid [and] engrossing.-- "Booklist"<br>
