Historical Warriors of the Dark Ages by Jennifer Laing $29.95 / Sutton Publ. / 2000 The first of a three-volume series on the Warriors of Europe, Warriors of the Dark Ages provides encyclopedic information on the early barbarian tribes, including the Huns, Visigoths, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Franks, all of whom brought about the fall of the Roman Empire and ravaged Europe during the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries. Given what sketchy information exists about these tribes, this is no small accomlishment. The chapters davoted to the different tribes are subdivided into sections which cover imporant events and people. For instance, "The Siege of Adrianople" and "The Skirmish at Constantinople" recount battles between the Goths and the Romans, while several subsections are devoted to Attila the Hun. Laing also devotes a chapter to the Saxons, Danes, Frisians, and Angles, the barbarian tribes of the British Isles. Complete with maps, color plates, and photographs of artifacts from the era, and written in clear descriptive language, Warriors of the Dark Ages provides a solid understanding of the origins and deeds of the legendary warrior tribes which flourished fo as long as a century before becoming absorbed into the culture around them. --Charles Rammelkamp
