Barbarians
Published by Dutton Children's Books, 2009.
From Kirkus reviews.
Sure, Vikings get all the good press—but as Kroll points out, they weren’t the only warlike people to raid, invade and topple established empires between 100 CE and the death of Tamerlane in 1405. After noting at the outset that the prejudicial connotation of the term “barbarian” was often but not always just, he goes on to profile the relatively brief but bloody careers of the Goths, Attila’s Huns, the Vikings and the Mongol Hordes of Genghis Khan and his descendants.
