Attila
the Hun
Attila is a new original mini-series on the USA Network. As the promotional material describes him "The most feared man ever to exist, Attila was King of the Huns in the 5th century, and during his reign he united the various tribes of barbarians to wreak havoc against the Roman Empire. More than a warrior, Attila was a man with human frailities and conflicts." The four-hour series airs in two parts beginning January 29th.

Attila
and the Nomad Hordes
by David Nicolle. (Elite Series #30) Of all the conquerors who swept out of Central Asia, two names stand out in European memory – Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan the Mongol. Both are remembered for massacres and devastation; yet whereas Genghis is also famous for the laws he imposed on half of Asia and for the trade which flourished under Mongol rule, Attila's notoriety seems unrelieved by positive achievements. But what was Attila's short-lived empire really like? What happened to the Huns afterwards, and what role did the nomads of Central Asia play in the centuries between Attila and Genghis Khan? $16.95 |
by Simon MacDowall. (Osprey Warrior Series #9) Between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD the traditional legions of heavy infantry were whittled away and eventually replaced by a force of various arms and nationalities dominated by cavalry and supported by missile troops. However, in spite of this trend towards cavalry, the pedes remained the backbone of the Roman army until well into the 5th century. The pedes was different from the legionary who preceded him; perhaps he was not as well disciplined, but in many ways he was more flexible – ready for deployment to trouble spots, and for fighting both as a skirmisher and a heavy infantryman. $16.95 |
by Simon MacDowall. (Osprey Warrior Series #9) The twilight of the Roman Empire saw a revolution in the way war was waged. The drilled infantryman, who had been the mainstay of Mediterranean armies since the days of the Greek hoplite, was gradually replaced by the mounted warrior. This change did not take place overnight, and in the 3rd and 4th centuries the role of the cavalryman was primarily to support the infantry. However, by the 6th century, the situation had been completely reversed. This book gives a full account of the changing experience of the mounted soldiers who defended Rome's withering western empire. $16.95 |

 Attila
the Hun
by David Nicolle. (An Osprey Book) Legend would have us believe that the reign of Attila the Hun was a time of devastation and massacre, unalloyed with positive achievements. But what was Attila's short-lived empire truly like? This volume reveals him as a warrior leader of theatrical rages, but also of strategic skill and political intelligence. Despite his vast wealth, he clung to a simple life; yet he was not the savage, as potrayed by the Greek and Roman chroniclers. Nicolle's book offers a fascinating insight into the true life of the Asian Huns. $16.95 |
