Kim, Hyun Jin, 1982- The Huns, Rome and the birth of Europe [electronic resource] / Hyun Jin Kim. Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013. viii, 338 p. : maps. Includes bibliographical references and index. Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction; 2. Rome's inner Asian enemies before the Huns; 3. The Huns in Central Asia; 4. The Huns in Europe; 5. The end of the Hunnic Empire in the West; 6. The later Huns and the birth of Europe; 7. Conclusion. "The Huns have often been treated as primitive barbarians with no advanced political organisation. Their place of origin was the so-called 'backward steppe'. It has been argued that whatever political organisation they achieved they owed to the 'civilizing influence' of the Germanic peoples they encountered as they moved west. This book argues that the steppes of Inner Asia were far from 'backward' and that the image of the primitive Huns is vastly misleading. They already possessed a highly sophisticated political culture while still in Inner Asia and, far from being passive recipients of advanced culture from the West, they passed on important elements of Central Eurasian culture to early medieval Europe, which they helped create"-- Provided by publisher.
