Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Attila the Hun sent a wave of death and destruction through the Roman Empire, earning him a reputation as a ferocious, godless barbarian. But Attila was also an astute politician and first-rate military commander, facts that are often overlooked. Kelly attempts to redress the balance, using original texts of espionage and counter-intelligence. A recent book on the same subject sold over 44,000 copies.

Publisher's description:

Attila the Hun - godless barbarian and near-mythical warrior king - has become a byword for mindless ferocity. His brutal attacks smashed through the frontiers of the Roman empire in a savage wave of death and destruction. This book goes in search of the real Attila the Hun.
