"This period of history has always been a little fuzzy to me and Bury lays out the major whos, whats and whens in a comprehensible and organized fashion. I suppose what I take away from this book most is that the Western Roman Empire didn't so much collapse as it gradually evolved, albeit painfully, into medeival society. He draws several conclusions that I wouldn't necessarily draw, and fails to make some connections that I thought might be important, but he clearly delineates the historical record from his own opinions. The data is left open to be interpreted by the reader. I really enjoyed this book and found its conciseness and clarity much more approachable than Gibbon's "Decline..." (which I have been working on for, oh, about five years now)."
"A masterfully written history. Bury is detail-oriented without being dry; analytical, without being academic; the closest thing I've found to an heir to Edward Gibbon. I enjoyed this book very much as a buff to the late Antique, early medieval period."
"Good book, well written. Limited appeal/audience. Fairly detailed level re the successive waves of invastions by the Germanic tribes & Asiatic peoples into Europe during the "Dark Ages". I enjoyed it, most folks won't."
