Having taught this era, I know how much work it was to chronicle and compile this much information and assemble it so cogently. This was very well done. It was worth giving the blow by blow account, because it really showed how much the Huns impacted the empire over and over again; not just one or two big events, but a sustained wave which knocked a whole bunch of dominos over. I really liked the point about how Attila's death helped lead to the death of Aetius "The Last of the Romans."
