Attila the Hun has become known synonymous with devastation and an outright invading plague. But what do we really know about him? There is only one extant first-hand account of him as a person and that is just fragmentary. A lot of what we know comes from the other side of Attila's conflicts. In this case, the victims, not the winners, wrote the history.
This is the first book I have read in the A Wicked History series. (The rest are on my To-Read shelf.) Does it portray him in a more sympathetic light? Maybe? Was Attila the product of his culture? It certainly does give a bit of insight into the Hun way of life and how that would have influenced this well-known barbarian leader.
