The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians by Peter Heather
4.0
Major New Source for Late Antiquity Research
I read this book for a university Late Antiquity course, and it is generally understood among professor and students alike that it will become the defining source on the period for years to come. It is a rather heavy read and sometimes seems to drag on about certain details, but any scholar will recognize Heather's overall work as exceptional.
