The Hun: Scourge of God AD 375-565: No. 111 (Warrior) - Softcover

"I think you will be equally impressed by the quality of this edition and should learn a considerable amount about these little-known peoples. It is a book I heartily recommend." --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com

The Huns were the most feared barbarians of the Ancient world, known to their Roman enemies as the 'scourge of god'. Superb horsemen and excellent archers, they fought with a reflex composite-bow that could penetrate armour at 100 metres. In battle they would rush into the fray with surprising speed and apparent chaos, maintaining an incessant barrage until the enemy was sufficiently weakened; thus their very name came to epitomise swift, merciless destruction. This book explores the rise of the Huns and their development in terms of equipment, tactics and society, from their first attacks on the Goths to the death of the Emperor Justinian, including the great battle of Chalons and the reign of Attila.
