Attila by Ross Laidlaw
Two old friends, now bitter rivals, face each other on the battlefield. Attila, leader of the Huns, has become corrupted by power, while Aetius, last of the great Roman generals, has been ennobled by it. This work portrays these two figures and evokes the brutality, decadence and desperation of the last desperate struggles of the Roman Empire.'A tremendous story. . the incursion into the empire of the strangest and most frightening of the barbarian invaders - and he tells it with great verve and vigour. His prose has a pace, he has a keen eye for the significant detail, and manages the big scenes confidently'
