2.0 out of 5 stars
only for insomnia patients,
This review is from: Der Fall Roms: Die Auflosung des romischen Reiches im Urteil der Nachwelt (German Edition) (Hardcover)
This book gives an overview (upto the date of it's writting in the mid 1980's) of the historiography on the decline and fall of the Roman empire. It strives for completeness and is 600+ pages. But because of that and of it's academic German language, is quite unreadable. Minor authors are mentioned in 10 lines. In that short space only the 3 major claims of their book can be repeated, but the consistency of their arguments is lost. Having read 7 of these minor authors, the reader will be lost in details too.No real effect to synthesis or analysis is made. The book can be used as a whoiswho in "decline history" and as an encyclopedia. Don't expect it to be a good read. It's very putdownable.
