Book Reviews of The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians

Book Review: Fall of the Roman Empire by Peter Heather
Summary: 5 Stars

At last, a breakthrough. For years I kept reading the same old hand-me-downs about the fall of Rome. This book gets into the cracks and looks around corners to give us more insight into the real cause. Good, easy reading...a privilege to read. R McKenna
