Overall this is an exceptional work at the academic, but accessible end of the spectrum, which is based on and presents the evidence in a helpful way which makes the wargamer think about the Huns in a more reflective way.

I found this a really, really good read and I now have a better understanding of who he was and this period of time. Combined with my recent read of the Battle of Cataluanian Fields – I have a much better understanding and it is quote staggering to think he could have made it all the way to the Atlantic coast.

Personally, I think Ian Hughes has done a great job with this book and one that will stay on my bookcase.

Medieval Sword School, Jason Hulott

The author has researched impeccably and produced a book which will be a suitable as a text book on the subject of Attila. It is written in an accessible style and is therefore suitable for any reader, including those developing a general interest in either, or both, the Fall of Rome or the domination by the Huns. The author has started with the background to the Huns, advanced through Attila and concluded with a presentation of the period following his time in history. The arguments are well presented and compelling. This is an important book that provides the history behind the myth and legend.

Ian Hughes paints an impressive and informative picture of the iconic Attila The Hun – one can’t help thinking about that opening sequence in the film Gladiator as Ian describes the Hun as the arch enemy of Imperial Rome… Stirring stuff!
