`compelling re-reading of Gothic and Roman history ... a masterful
account.'
The Historian
'Goths and Romans, 332-489 represents a considerable amount of
research and thought by its author, This is a significant book for
specialists and can be read with profit by non-specialists
interested in the period. Classroom teachers in schools and
colleges will appreciate the consistent thematic development and
the careful effort at estimating the size of populations and forces
involved.'
Thomas S. Burns Emory University The Classical Outlook Winter
'94
`an exemplary reading of the late Roman texts on the Goths. He uses
this to rewrite the history of the Goths in a way which demolishes
myths and establishes a realistic narrative of events. Heather's
critical and pragmatic approach to his sources works well in
countering their more or less obvious bias,,,excellent book.'
Shorter Notices vol 110 issue 436
`A thoroughgoing study of Gothic origins and the formation of the
large groupings of the Ostrogoths and Visigoths. `Not the last word
on the subject, but the first one should read'.'
