Fall of the West

Der Fall des Römischen Reiches ging nicht so zivilisiert vonstatten, wie es gerne behauptet wird: Adrian Goldsworthy enthüllt auf klare Weise mit viel gesundem Menschenverstand die wahren Gründe des Unterganges. Es ist eine blutige Geschichte über barbarische Angriffe, Palastrevolten, intrigante Höflinge und korrupte Cäsaren, über exzessiven Bürokratismus und überzogenes Selbstinteresse der führenden Klasse. Ein altmodisches Geschichtsbuch im allerbesten Sinne!
