Rome and Attila: Rome's Greatest Enemy

The Fall of the Roman Empire, Book 3

"A skilled storyteller . . . Holmes presents a riveting account of Rome's decline" -Kirkus Reviews

Attila is a household name. But his true character and impact on the Roman Empire have always remained elusive. Until now.

In the first major work written about Attila in decades, Nick Holmes rewrites the story of Attila and Rome. Contrary to his brutal legend, Attila was a complex and captivating personality. A great warlord who despised ostentation, admired bravery, and valued loyalty.

He led his steppe nomads further west than Genghis Khan or Tamerlane. He nearly destroyed the Roman Empire. But his vast ambition undid him. This book is a must-listen for those interested in Rome, the Huns, and military history.

Attila great nemesis of Rome.

The last book of the trilogy, very great information of one of the last pillars of the Roman Empire falling. narrator very awesome. This book will keep you well focused, and informed during the last years of the western Roman Empire.

4 Stars When it doesn't Repeat Earlier Books.

These books are a great overview of the decline of Rome. I'm listening to them as an appetizer before tackling Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. But here in Book 3 the author prints almost word for word 9 or 10 chapters from Book 2. Hopefully the next book, about the Byzantine Empire, won't borrow quite as much from previous works.
