pp. x 531.”Now Adrian Goldsworthy comes forward with his trademark combination of clear narrative, common sense, and a thorough mastery of the sources. In telling the story from beginning to end, he rescues the era from the mealy-mouthed and diffident: this is a red-blooded account of barbarian invasions, palace coups, scheming courtiers and corrupt emperors who set the gold standard for dissipation. It is ‘old fashioned history’ in the best sense: an accessible narrative with colourful characters whose story reveals the true reasons for the fall of Rome. ” previous owners inscription on FEP
