If you want to discover the captivating history of Attila the Hun, then keep reading...In the popular imagination, Attila the Hun is among the most barbaric leaders ever. His warriors have the reputation of being ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty, as the Huns are believed to have been savages lacking any semblance of civilized culture.The Huns raped and pillaged with abandon whenever the opportunity arose, and their raids into lands poorly protected by military outposts in the crumbling Roman Empire became legendary. The Huns under the command of Attila are thought to have been largely responsible for the collapse of the Roman Empire and the commencement of the Dark Ages in Europe.The reputation of Attila and his people, the Huns, is at odds with reality. But examining the few historical records of his character and deeds reveal quite a different story. It is true that he was a calculating leader who was skilled at unleashing his fierce fighters when necessary. It is also recorded in history that he was a continual thorn in the side of the Romans. However, placed in historical context, Attila acted in ways that were common among leaders, both Roman and barbarian, in the first half of the 5th century. What is extraordinary about him were his uncanny abilities in negotiations with superior powers, his capacity for matching and exceeding his enemies in duplicitous behavior, and his successes as a military tactician on the battlefield.In Attila the Hun: A Captivating Guide to the Ruler of the Huns and His Invasions of the Roman Empire, you will discover topics such asThe Origins of Attila and the HunsThe Wars of the Huns Before AttilaAn Alliance Between the Huns and the RomansAttila Attacks the ByzantinesAttila Attacks the Byzantines AgainAttila Foils a Byzantine PlotAttila’s Diplomatic Strategy Evolves in the WestAttila Raids GaulAttila Raids ItalyThe Disintegration of Attila’s KingdomAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Attila the Hun, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

CAN A DOG FLY? Anything is possible in our imagination. It is where creativity and thinking “outside the box” begins. As Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. It is the door to possibilities.” In today’s world, technology is taking precedence over the simple pleasure of reading a book. Watching television or spending hour upon hour playing computer games is not the same. Books on the other hand, can spark the magic of invention and fantasy that will allow a child to explore their own world of dreams. We hope The Flying Dachshund will help on that journey. —Debra & Talya
