This compilation of primary sources presents dozens of striking accounts of the exotic customs and fierce deeds of those considered barbarians by the writers of these eyewitness reports. The authors, mostly near~contemporaries of the events they describe, range from classical historians like Herodotus and Tacitus, to generals, ambassadors, and ordinary soldiers. In often colorful prose, they describe the exploits of legendary warriors such as Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, and Tamerlane (reputed to erect pyramids of skulls before the gates of captured cities), along with Viking raids, Mongol invasions, epic battles, and general depravity. Beginning with an excerpt from Strabo's Geograply, Chronicles of the Barbarians takes the reader from the ancient world of the Scythians~considered barbarians not least because they couldnt speak Greek~through centuries of bloody warfare between the Romans and various foes: Britons, Germans, Gauls, and Goths of every type. By the time Attila's Huns swooped down on Europe in the fifth century, the term " barbarian" had taken on darker overtones. Huns, Vandals, Vikings, and Mongols were seen not only as Peoples who held different beliefs and practiced strange customs but as creatures of the devil and paradoxically, as instruments of God's wrath. Chronicles culminates with a fascinating chapter on the Crusades, juxtaposing the accounts of a Norman knight and a Syrian soldier each thinking of the other as the barbarian, the infidel. Together with brief introductions placing each piece in context, these narratives provide a fascinating look at the underbelly of history, from ancient Greece up to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Indeed, in a sense, the barbarians can be considered true modernizers, for although we tend to think of them as looters and pillagers, they permeated the cultures they clashed with on every level, changing western civilization forever. As David Willis McCullough points out in his introduction, "We, surely, are the descendants not of those civilized toga wearers but of the vigorous, trouser~wearing mmigrant barbarians fron nowhere.".…
