"A thoughtful and sophisticated account of a notoriously complicated and controversial period." ―R. I. Moore, Times Literary Supplement

History remembers Attila, the leader of the Huns, as the Romans perceived him: a savage barbarian brutally inflicting terror on whoever crossed his path. Following Attila and the Huns from the steppes of Kazakhstan to the court of Constantinople, Christopher Kelly portrays Attila in a compelling new light, uncovering an unlikely marriage proposal, a long-standing relationship with a treacherous Roman general, and a thwarte

The End of Empire: Attila the Hun & the Fall of Rome by Christopher Kelly Book Review

Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Probably the Definitive Book on Attila -- Scholarly & Essentially Complete
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2009
Review: Although I ordered this book with misgivings about someone building a portrait of Attila from the two dozen or so ancient sources even mentioning Attila, I was enormously pleased with the author's scholarship. The reader must remember that the Huns left no written accounts of their own, essentially no archaeological evidence, and everything written about them came strictly from their enemies. So accounts like Ammianus Marcellinus' (who never saw a Hun) describing them with flattened skulls, misshapen bodies, evil appearances, etc., etc., must be taken with very large grains of salt. Even their horses were supposedly ugly. The author strives mightly to present the probable truth, and is probably as successful as a researcher at this distance can be.

The litmus test for me came early with the author's treatment of cranial deformations to identify the Huns. Although this was a practice of certain steppe dwellers and has been associated with the Alans, whether of not the Huns practiced this is questionable. Amazingly (to me), the author addresses this issue, and in his end notes actually points out that if the process was to beautify, then high ranking Huns like Attila and his wives would have undergone this practice. But no eyewitness description of Attila mentions such a deformation! The author therefore mentions this practice as occurring among the Huns, but carefully retreats from using it as a means of identifying them. Frankly, this is scholarship at its best, and not just because the author agrees with me.

Although the author's careful use and non-use of certain sources might put off some readers, this work is probably as accurate as possible for a modern researcher. Only a couple of other writers have performed anywhere nearly as well, most notable Otto Maenchen-Helfen. The end notes must be read along with the text, and my only criticism of this work is that they should have been placed at the end of each chapter for the reader's convenience. In some places the author was forced to explain why he didn't use certain information a given ancient source, or how he came to certain conclusions based of several contradictory sources and convient end notes would have been helpful. The author is a modern-day detective analyzing the evidence, carefully qualifying his conclusions, and then writing a narrative that is understandable by all. For this he is to be greatly commended.

As an example of the author's analysis, please note that he finds that the Huns fared rather poorly in battle with the main Roman armies although they could and did destroy cities protected by static garrisons while the tactical Roman armies were otherwise occupied. The Goths did better, as at Adrianopole. This is certainly not what is ususally conveyed or understood by conventional wisdom, but is true nevertheless. As a result, it is hardly the case that Attila brought an end to the Western Roman Empire, but he did give it a shove toward its ultimate demise.

At the end of the book the author lists twenty-two ancient sources and their modern editions and translations. The reader is invited to check these sources as I did in several instances to test the author's thoroughness and accuracy. This work passed all tests for accuracy and analysis with flying colors, something almost incredible for a modern book.

I don't mean to gush over this book like a schoolgirl reading her first Gothic romance, but I can't praise this work too highly. I recommend it to all readers interested in the late Roman Empire, the rise of the Byzantine Empire, and the invasions of the Barbarians into Western Europe. It is wonderfully written, clear, and conveys a portrait of the times that is easily understandable.

It also should give American readers pause in considering a political option like buying off threatening powers (such as North Korea.) It didn't work with the Huns, and frankly I can't offer a single incidence in Western History where buying off one's enemies worked. Even the Danes ultimately wanted more than their "Danegelt" from England.

All in all, this is a very fine work, worthy of five stars plus.

Title: A historian who puts his own religious faith over historical accuracy.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2012
Review: While this book was generally well written, Kelly's apparent belief in the historical truth of Christian mythology and miracles raises serious questions about the value of his scholarship, particularly in a book like this one where the author purports to get inside the heads of historical figures about whom very little is known. Let me give you some examples.

1. Kelly first quotes the historian Socrates regarding an attack by Huns on the Burgundians: "In this crisis the Burgundians decided not to seek any human help.....As they were clear in their minds that the god of the Romans offered the greatest assistance to those who feared him ... they went to one of the cities in France and asked the bishop there to baptize them as Christians... Then they marched against the Huns, and were not disappointed in their hopes. For when Uptaros, king of the Huns, burst during the night as a result of his overindulgence, the Burgundians attacked the Huns... [and] destroyed abvout ten thousand of the enemy. From them on the Burgundians were fervent Christians." Regarding this quote, Kelly states: "For those who believe in miracles, much may be salvaged from this pious text.... a delightful moment of divine comedy in a serious tale of the triumph of Christianity."

2. Kelly reports the following incident as historical fact to explain why the Huns refused to be converted to Christianity. He is not quoting an ancient text, but recounting something which he (Kelly) obviously thinks actually occurred: "As Theotimus approached, one Hun suddenly reaised a rope in his right hand and made to lasso him and drag him away. But the lasso was never thrown. The Hun remained motionless with his arm outstretched until Theotimus prayed for him to be released. Despite, or perhaps because of, this dramatic demonstration of divine power, the Huns who had tried to seize the bishop remained hostile to Christianity. One afternoon when riding upcountry, Theotimus saw some Huns in the distance. The situation was dangerous. As his servants panicked, the bishop prayed and the Huns passed by without noticing anything. This was a miraculous escape."

3. "To some it seemed that the Huns might break through and the Goths suffer the cruel fate of the Burgundians. But them some good luck (or perhaps a miracle): Litorius was captured, and the battle turned as the Goths steadily advanced."

4. Again, Kelly reports the following as historical fact: "After many days of fasting, [Servatius] was finally granted a vision of the somewhat unsympathetic apostle ... Through unquestioning obedience to his divine instructions, Saint Servatius ensured that by abandoning Tongeren he had saved it for the Huns, who passed one hundred miles to the south. Not all cities were as blessed as Tongeren. Metz, ninety miles west of the Rhine frontier, was completely destroyed save for a chapel dedicated to Stephen, the first Christian martyr. This confirmed a vision of one devout Christian in the city who, before the Hun attack, had seen Stephen in heated conversation with the apostles Peter and Paul. These senior saints turned down the marytr's request that Metz be saved... As a concession, they agreed that Stephen's chapel should be spared." (Kelly goes on with more mythology as if it were true.)

5. Kelly claims that the Huns fled from Reims because when the bishop was killed, his "head rolled down the cathedral's steps" and was "heard to complete" a Biblical verse. Here is Kelly: "Saint Nicasius' talking head was sufficient to frighten the Huns into quitting the city."

6. Note Kelly's defense, at the end of this quote, of his reporting of myth as fact: "Not all saints had to die for their cause. At Lutetia (now Paris) the young virgin Genovesa ... begged the population not to abandon the town ... [The people's] faith in the virgin was affirmed when the town escaped the Huns. Only the mean-spirited would doubt Genevieve's achievement."

To reiterate my point: Kelly is not giving examples of the type of stories that people invented to talk about Attila and the devastation of the Huns, but is claiming to provide historical facts. The quotes above (and others as well) lack any authorial distancing or overt irony. The very last quote, in the opinion of this reviewer, is just intellectually dishonest. Caveat emptor.

Title: Great and enjoyable book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2021
Review: Very enlightening and entertaining. Easier said than done. In fact, not many history authors can pull it off. So many authoritative history authors, big names in world of history book publishing, are not good history writers for general public. This author is one of the rare ones who tells the story in a compelling, entertaining and yet educational way. I learned a lot, and I really enjoyed reading this book. The author does a good job of narrating the history of Huns and Late Western Roman Empire. It's a shame the author has not published many more books. PLEASE publish more books!

Title: Attila the Astute manipulator of Rome
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2022
Review: This was very well researched and written. The author's description of the Hun lifestyle matches that of Genghis Khan nearly 1,000 years later, leading to the conclusion that the Huns were Mongols living on the west side of the steppe. They wore beautiful jewelry, described in the text, and references made to figures. I was unable to find the figures--a big disappointment. It is amazing how much Attila had to do with the disintegration of the western Roman Empire.
