I wanted to let you know my latest book, Rome and Attila, is now available on Amazon in ebook and paperback, links in the episode notes. It’s about one of the most infamous figures in history—Attila the Hun. He’s a household name, but remarkably little is known about him and his popular legend as a brutal tyrant is not necessarily correct. I delve into the primary sources in search of the real Attila and find someone very different from the legend—a complex, captivating personality who despised ostentation, admired bravery and valued loyalty.
Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy it!

I thought you might be interested to know that I've just published a book called The Roman Revolution. This is about the Roman Empire in the third century when Rome was truly revolutionized and ended up as a Christian monarchy. This was the origin of the Byzantine Empire, and so if you're interested in the Crusades, you might well enjoy this much earlier time in history which was so formative for both Byzantium and the Crusades. Here is the link to the book on Amazon US. One click and you're there! Hope you enjoy it!
