Ludwig Heinrich Dyck

Roman Barbarian Wars (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The history of the 'barbarian' peoples of Europe is filled with dramatic wars and migrations along with charismatic and often farsighted leaders. Inevitably, their greatest challenge was their struggle with the renowned military might of Rome. Even when outnumbered and faced by better equipped and trained Roman legions, the barbarians could inflict devastating defeats upon Rome. Though sometimes fickle in battle, the barbarian warrior was capable of reckless bravery. The Romans themselves admired the size and strength of the barbarians, which, combined with a life of hardship and intertribal warfare, made them dangerous opponentsThis book, however, is as much about Rome as it is about its tribal foes. Ludwig Dyck begins with the foundation of the city of Rome and follows her growth into a martial empire, complete with its pageantry and glory, its genius, its brutality and its arrogance. All this is told in a fast-paced, accessible narrative style.

Autorenporträt

Ludwig Heinrich Dyck was born on Nov. 19, 1965 in Wesel, of what was then West Germany. A Canadian citizen through his father's citizenship, Dyck spent his early childhood amidst the countryside of rural North Rhine-Westphalia. It was not until his preteen years that he permanently moved to the greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada, where Dyck still resides. An artist, naturalist and traveler, and above all a history buff, Dyck writes from a well-rounded perspective. Since his first publication in 1998, Dyck has written for numerous popular US history magazines. His first book is the well received "The Roman Barbarian Wars, the Era of Roman Conquest."
