"Mr. Goldsworthy offers a lively text... He conveys the events that led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire with clarity and fluency, without literary pedantry." " Wall Street Journal "A very solid narrative with new insights that will satisfy even the most seasoned 'Romanophile'." " Washington Times "Masterfully researched, multilayered and provocative" Diana Preston, The Washington Post Book World "How Rome Fell , " Carolyn Nelson, The Journal of Military History "Combines scholarship with storytelling to bring the ancient world to life." " Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The Romanovs In 200 AD, the Roman Empire was in its heyday, seemingly invulnerable to attack because of its vast territory, which included most of the known world.By the end of the fifth century, however, Roman rule had disappeared from Western Europe and most of North Africa, leaving only a small eastern empire. In this account of the fall of the Roman Empire, award-winning author Adrian Goldsworthy explores the painful centuries of the superpower's decline.

The story of how internal turmoil, alongside struggles against enemies abroad, led to the division of the empire into western and eastern parts in 395, and the fall of the western part of the empire in 476 when its last emperor was deposed in a coup d'état, has been the subject of much scholarship over the last 300 years, but Goldsworthy is one of the few historians to present the disintegration of the empire with consummate skill.In a meticulous, intricate and intriguing style, he brings to life all the actors in a process that actually began long before, arguing that it was structural weakness and especially endless civil wars that made the Roman Empire vulnerable to the ambitions of "barbarian" tribes such as the Goths, Huns and Vandals

How Rome Collapsed will be a pleasure for all readers of history, not just those interested in the Roman Empire, is a work that reveals in detail how one of the most influential states not only in Late Antiquity but also in the entire history of the world could unravel and disintegrate as a result of the ambitions of its rulers, the short-term calculations of its officials and their prioritization of their personal interests, and the endless administrative, economic and political instability that resulted from these.
