The Goths are the most enigmatic of all the ancient German tribes. Their name today is still widely in use for a variety of cultural and artistic movements. But unlike other famous German tribes whose names are still descriptive of nations they founded - the Franks, the Lombards, the Angles, the Saxons, and the Alemanni - the Goths simply disappeared. The subject of Henry Bradley's splendid short history is tracing the rise, the migrations, and the impact of the Goths on European history along with their spectacular fall. It is a fascinating story of courage, resilience, and dogged determination. And it is the story of some of the greatest German chieftains and kings produced before the time of Charlemagne...awesome leaders like Alaric and Theodoric. The Goths brought down the mighty Roman Empire. But before they faded away, they left an indelible imprint on our civilization.

I will say it requires some basic knowledge of Europe to fully enjoy it. If you know absolutely nothing about European geography, you might have a hard time with this. Luckily I play many historical games and am familiar with the general layout of things. Other than that, it's a good starting point for the story of the Goths. I'd recommend a couple of other books in the Byzantine Empire and Attila the Hun to have the broader context of the events presented.
Thorough and Well Narrated

Charlton Griffin is the premier narrator for this genre of history and his performance for this book is excellent. If you enjoy Roman History you will enjoy this book, it gives a different perspective on the barbarian notion that is such a pivotal aspect of Roman History.
Interesting Book about a little understood people
