The Scourge of God - Attila The Hun ~ The Alexander Articles

Pull up a chair and listen to Derek tell Tim about one of history's most misunderstood figures: Attila, King of the Huns. As the medieval historian Jordanes wrote, Attila was born into the world to shake the nations. But the "Scourge of God" himself was less the barbarian devil of Roman nightmares and more a cunning and calculating strategist who waged war through diplomacy as much as by the sword.
