Terry Jones' Barbarians

This volume take a completely fresh approach to Roman history. It reveals that most of those written off by Rome as uncivilized, savage and 'barbaric' were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire. In fact, it was the Romans who celebrated savage slaughter and who eventually looted the city of Rome themselves, while leaving a lasting legacy of propaganda attacking everyone else.
