Description
Gaiseric: The Vandal who Destroyed Rome by Ian Hughes is a detailed analysis of the life and reign of Gaiseric, the leader of the Vandals. The book provides a concise history of the Vandals before Gaiseric's rise to power, as well as an examination of their tactics and weaponry that enabled them to carve out a significant presence in the Western Roman Empire. Gaiseric's impact on the empire is revealed through his strategic military campaigns, including the sack of Rome in AD455, which had far-reaching consequences for the region.
