Product Description

Product Description
On a grassy plan east of Paris, on a sweltering June day, two towering figures of Late Antiquity are to meet in a monumental conflict, an epic battle that will determine the fate of Europe and the course of civilisation itself. The clash at Chalons will pit the fierce and passionate Attila the Hun against Count Aetius, Supreme General of the Armies of the Western Empire, known to history as "the last of the Romans." Bursting with heroic battle scenes and eloquent storytelling, THE SWORD OF ATTILA recounts what some historians have called the most important battle in all history

First Sentence
The blackness of the heavens melded with the dark of the surrounding fields and woods, and the rain poured down on a scene of collective misery, the likes of which the world has rarely seen. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Year's of the Roman Empire, 16 Dec 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Sword of Attila (Mass Market Paperback)
For centuries Rome had ruled the known world with an iron glove. From Africa to the wind swept island of Britain the Roman legions had held sway over the native inhabitants. Wherever the conquered they made there mark bring stability and wealth to those who were prepared to bow to the might of Rome. Now from the east came an enemy that caught the Roman Empire when its decline had begun.

The author has an ability to bring the scenes of ancient warfare to life for the reader. He captures the horror of it all. The screams of both men and animals. The bloodshed and the pain. Battles where you do not fight your enemy from a distance as with modern warfare, but close up, toe to toe, where you can smell the fear in the sweat of your opponent.

The author brings to life the period of 400 AD when the Roman Empire is buckling. Not yet on its knees, but not far off and now it must face the most dangerous enemy Rome has even known, a man named Attila . . .
