Kurzbeschreibung
From the twilight of the Roman Empire emerged the kingdoms of Merovingian Europe (c. 400-700 AD), which were, in turn, the basis for the nations of medieval and modern Europe. Professor Geary draws on the latest archaeological and historical findings to elucidate one of the least understood periods of European history. This text is aimed at both survey and graduate courses on medieval history, which invariably take the Merovingian period as their starting point. The other available works on this subject are widely acknowledged to be either inadequate or out of date. This concise synthesis of the latest scholarship of Merovingian specialists, whose work appears almost exclusively in highly specialized German or French monographs, will also be welcomed by scholars seeking to keep abreast of the current historiography of this important transitional period in European history.

Format:Taschenbuch
During the fifth century, the country we know as France was overrun by a horde of German speaking barbarians called the Franks. After subjugating the Gallo-Roman population, the Franks somehow ended up speaking French and wearing berets. Or so I was taught in high school.
What is wrong with this picture? Generally when a country is conquered, the victors impose their language and culture on the vanquished, not the other way around. Most history books devote about two paragraphs to this period of French history.
If you have ever wondered how a group of plain, down to earth, barbarians could have produced a guy by the name of Charlemagne, Patrick J. Geary has the answer. (Hint: The barbarians were relatively few in number, and the Gallo-Roman aristocracy was never really conquered.) Geary's book is heavy reading in places, but it explores in depth the complex relationship between the Franks and the Gallo-Romans. Much that is confusing about European history can be cleared up by reading this book.

Geary's book provides a comprehensive overview of the transition from the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Europe we know today and effectively fills in what had been a major "blank" in my knowledge of history (and I was a European history major!) I would recommend, however, that readers have some background in European history and a keen interest in the subject.

Most history books are written by experts to experts; this is a book written by an expert to a more general audience and as such it is a wonder! When we hear of "the Fall of Rome" we often imagine an overnight calamity -- this book dispells that notion, along with several others, such as the cohesion of "tribes" as they crossed from "Germany" into the Empire and the visions these people had of themselves. This is one of those books that a nonspecialist can read and gain great insight from. I cannot reccomend it enough.
