Overview
A stunning biography of history's most infamous warlord, Attila the Hun.
The name Attila the Hun has long been a byword for barbarism, savagery, and violence. Yet behind the household name lies a complex, brilliant leader whose actions held the fate of Europe and the Roman Empire in his hands for two crucial decades in the fifth century.
Uniting nomadic tribes into a single, devastatingly effective force, Attila launched major campaigns that brought the decaying empires of both Rome and Constantinople to their knees. He was coarse, arrogant, and ruthless, yet wily enough to win the loyalty of millions and manipulate his enemies through clever intelligence and diplomacy from his base in the grasslands of Hungary.
In this riveting biography, masterful historian John Man draws on his extensive travels through Attila's heartland and deep experience with Central Asian nomadic traditions to reveal the wily politician, tribal chief, and military genius behind the myth—a man whose grand ambitions jolted Rome toward its final fall.
