Om denne bog

The epic story of the inevitable fall of Rome''s glory

In The Fall of the Roman Empire, Peter Heather skillfully weaves a captivating tale of an ancient and long-lasting superpower that crumbled within the short space of a century. Its downfall was not instigated by massive rebellions or towering foes but by a small group of German-speaking asylum-seekers who audaciously defeated a vast Roman army and killed an Emperor, slowly eroding the bedrock of an empire that stood tall for over four hundred years.

Heather''s engaging narrative exposes the intricate dynamics that culminated in the empire''s fateful decline. This extraordinary story pierces the glamour of the gilded imperial court, and delves into Rome’s interactions with Europe''s barbarians, who, after centuries of contact, gradually weakened and eventually dismantled the empire.

Hailed as ''triumphant'' and ''fascinating'', The Fall of the Roman Empire offers a masterful blend of meticulous analysis and vivid storytelling, providing fresh insights into an enigmatic chapter of history that continues to captivate the minds of historians and enthusiasts alike.
