Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the barbarians from Europe and beyond who harassed, eroded and eventually caused the disintegration of the Roman Empire. As the authors show, some, such as the Vandals in North Africa, had short-lived periods of supremacy and relatively insignificant effect on the areas they settled; others, such as the Franks, adapted to Roman ways to create the strong foundations of medieval and later nations. Throughout the text, the authors reconstruct the volatile world of pitched battle and invasion.
