THE ROMAN REVOLUTION
The Roman Revolution is the first book in my series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. It describes the little known “crisis of the third century”. Long before the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, in the years between AD 235-275, barbarian invasions, civil war and plague devastated ancient Rome. Out of this ordeal, a revolutionary new order arose. It was the first step in the history of the Fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the modern world.

THE FALL OF ROME
WHY DID ROME FALL?
The Fall of Rome is the second book in my series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. In this gripping retelling of the sack of the city of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, a new interpretation of an old story is presented. 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. Rome's misfortunes multiplied as it suffered from mistakes on the battlefield, civil war, religious unrest and political incompetence.
ROME AND ATTILA
WHO WAS THE REAL ATTILA?
Rome and Attila is the third book in my series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. It is the first major work written about Attila for decades. I try to unravel the truth about this legendary figure. Contrary to popular opinion, Attila was a complex and captivating personality.
He led his steppe nomads further west than Genghis Khan or Tamerlane. He nearly destroyed the Roman Empire. But his vast ambition undid him. This book is a must read for those interested in Rome, the Huns and military history.
