    About this audiobook

    If you want to discover the captivating history of the Vandals, then pay attention...

    In the modern world, when one imagines a vandal, it's often a youth with a covered face drawing graffiti on a wall of a public building. And the act of deliberate defacement, destruction, or damage to public or private property is known as vandalism.

    This idea became an integral part of world culture with most people using it without knowing that this word is linked to an ancient Germanic tribe called the Vandals. The small number of people that are aware of this link often envision these Vandals as outright barbarians who pillaged and burned, killed and destroyed. They were the antithesis of civilized and cultured life. That image has been engraved in our collective consciousness by centuries of historical propaganda.

    In The Vandals: A Captivating Guide to the Barbarians That Conquered the Roman Empire During the Transitional Period from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages, you will discover topics such as

    • Origins of the Vandals
    • From the Danube to Africa
    • Rise of the Vandal Kingdom
    • Downfall of the Vandals
    • Vandal Society
    • Religion, Culture, and the Vandals
    • And much, much more!
