The Fall of Rome book cover

The Fall of Rome

And the End of Civilization

Bryan Ward-Perkins

Discover the shocking truth about the fall of Rome in this fascinating historical account. Through extensive research and archaeological evidence, historian Bryan Ward-Perkins argues that the collapse of Roman civilization was not a peaceful transition, but rather a time of horror and dislocation that sent the West back to a prehistoric standard of living. With a lively narrative and thirty illustrations, this thought-provoking book recaptures the drama and violence of the ancient world and challenges contemporary theories about the fall of Rome.

@MGF91 @Patrick_Wyman @DiegoCastaneda I liked Averil Cameron, The Later Roman Empire; Ward- Perkins, The Fall of Rome (I used his data in one of my papers) and an old and short book, Walbank, The decline of the Roman Empire in the West. Also A Goldsworthy, How Rome Fell (but do not remember it well).      source
