Chronicles of the Barbarians contains accounts of legendary warriors such as Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, and other fierce invaders who attacked foreign lands throughout early history. Told by those who saw them in action, it is an unforgettable read.The primary sources collected here range from ancient scholars such as Herodotus, who wrote history as it happened, and commanders such as Julius Caesar, who tells of the first invasion of Britain, to ordinary soldiers, such as the Norman who gives a harrowing description of life as a crusader. To set the stage, this handsome volume includes short introductions, photographs, maps, illustrations, a timeline, and a biographical glossary.

This beautifully packaged, one-of-a-kind anthology is the perfect combination of Conan and Gibbon. For history and military buffs and lovers of well-told tales, this collection is both historically invaluable and luridly fascinating.
