God beskrivelse af overgangen fra romerriget til tidlig middelalder og kampene og forsøgene på at genoprette imperiet ... jeg savner måske mere åndshistorie og mindre om bønder, økonomi og magtforhold, men sådan er det vel i en "rigtig" historiebog. Velskrevet og ofte inspirerende. Gode beskrivelser af den tidlige byzantinske tid

This is one of the first books I have read for starting to study Medieval History. It is great to dip in and out off for info and an introduction to the subject.

The book was interesting, I didn't read all of it, but skimmed through the pages. I love History, it's something I enjoy & feel it's a part of me, especially European History. This book talks about everything that happened since the Roman empire to the late medieval centuries. I was quite enchanted with how the Roman Empire's fall led to the emerging of new kingdoms around Europe & how those primitive people shaped Europe now.
