Opis

This book re-evaluates the impact of war in creating early medieval Italy. Through a complete reassessment of contemporary and later sources, it rewrites the history of the first decades of Lombard rule, demonstrating that the impact of warfare went far beyond battles and invasions. 

Recenzje

"This is an important book that radically rewrites the story of early medieval Italy in a convincing fashion and has major implications for the reading of early medieval historiography, state formation, inter-state relations, and warfare." - Lucas R. McMahon, Princeton University
