Reseña del editor:

Legend would have us believe that the reign of Attila the Hun was a time of devastation and massacre, unalloyed with positive achievement. But what was Attila's short-lived empire really like? This volume reveals him as a man of theatrical rages, but also as a warrior of strategic skill and political insight.
