After the fall of Rome, Western Europe was in almost complete disarray for several centuries, with different tribes and factions running different parts of the continent. Then, in CE 768, Charles the Great, more commonly known as Charlemagne, became the ruler of the Franks.

Good One

The book starts off a bit slow as I felt as though I was dropped into the middle of an ongoing conversation about The Carolingian Empire. It is awesome.

Fascinating

Fascinating history, well written and explained. I had no idea so much archaeology has been done in the Mexico region.

Detailed Book

Wonderful history resource for my history series. It describes in detail what historians merely gloss over discussing the aftermath of Rome's fall. Well written.

Lovely

I love these classic history books. So refreshing to have none of the political correctness one sees in the work of many current historians.

Very Detailed

Perhaps a little too detailed but very interesting and informative. It backs up what I already believed about how much damage the Catholic Church has done to civilization. I highly recommend this book
