Description
8216Askilled storyteller, Holmes presents a
riveting account of the wars, intrigues and
personalities that contributed to Rome8217sdecli
ne, with entire chapters devoted to
single battles.8217Kirkus ReviewsWHY DID ROME
FALL?In this gripping retelling of one of the
most momentous chapters in history, Nick Holmes
presents a new interpretation of an old story.
The fate of Rome was decided not just by
emperors, soldiers and barbarians but also by an
environmental disaster.A catastrophic megadrought
on the Asian steppes in the fourth century AD
forced the migration of entire peoples - Huns,
Goths, Vandals and others - west into the
Roman Empire. They met an empire weakened from
war with Persia. Rome8217smisfortunes
multiplied as it made tactical errors on the
battlefield. Civil war, religious unrest and
political incompetence compounded a worsening
situation. The result was one of the greatest
disasters in the ancient world - the sack of Rome
by the Goths in AD 410. This is the second
book in a multi-volume series on the Fall of the
Roman Empire. The first book, The Roman
Revolution, describes 8216thcrisis of the third
century8217and Rome8217sadoption
of Christianity. The third book, Rome and Attila,
covers the part played by Attila the Hun in the
Western Roman Empire's downfall. Further volumes
will continue Rome's turbulent history, from its
revival under the emperor Justinian to the
rise of Islam, the beginnings of Byzantium and
the dawn of the Middle Ages.Praise for The Roman
Revolution and other books by Nick
