Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 552, a Gothic king lay dying on an Italian battlefield, cut down while the empire he had spent a decade humiliating finally closed its trap. Ten years earlier, Baduila had inherited a shattered kingdom of fewer than five thousand fighters, a broken succession, and a starving population.…What he built from that wreckage was extraordinary: victories that routed Byzantine armies twenty thousand strong, a revolution that freed slaves and tenant farmers from the estates of Rome's senatorial elite, and not one but three conquests of Rome itself. Michael De La Cour traces this astonishing decade in full - the tactical brilliance at Faventia and Mucellium, the brutal calculus of the Naples blockade, the coinage that quietly proclaimed a king Byzantine chroniclers tried to erase from memory, and the diplomatic humiliation that drove one final, fatal gamble against the Empire's most capable general. Drawing on Procopius, Gregory the Great, and the revisionist scholarship of Marco Cristini and Peter Heather, this is narrative history at its most vivid: a study of power, propaganda, and the fragile line between resurgence and ruin. Baduila's Italy did not survive him - but for one decade, he made an empire tremble. This item is printed on demand.
