About this audiobook
The ancient Romans used the word barbarian to describe people who were coarse, rude, or even just foreign. Over time the word has also come to connote bloodthirsty cruelty. But were the Goths, the Huns, the Vikings, and the Mongols as barbaric as we?ve been led to believe? In dynamic, detailed spreads that young readers will pore over, bestselling author Steven Kroll and illustrator Robert Byrd explore how these nomadic warriors lived, worshipped, and celebrated. Their wandering armies brought together Europe and Asia through trade and conquest and, in doing so, changed the world forever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this is a brief history and cultural overview of four so called barbarian groups. This is a nice history lesson about these groups you only breifly learn about in your history classes. They talked about some of the leaders and they interactions with the Romans and greeks. The art is well done and goes well with the text.
