It took little more than a single generation for the centuries-old Roman Empire to fall. In those critical decades, while Christians and pagans, legions and barbarians, generals and politicians squabbled over dwindling scraps of power, two men former comrades on the battlefield rose to prominence on opposite sides of the great game of empire. Roman general Flavius Stilicho, the man behind the Roman throne, dedicated himself to restoring imperial glory, only to find himself struggling for his life against political foes. Alaric, King of the Goths, desired to be a friend of Rome, was betrayed by it, and given no choice but to become its enemy. Battling each other to a standstill, these two warriors ultimately overcame their differences in order to save the empire from enemies on all sides. And when one of them fell, the other took such vengeance as had never been seen in history.
Don Hollway, author of The Last Viking, combines ancient chroniclers accounts of Stilicho and Alaric into an unforgettable history of betrayal, politics, intrigue and war for the heart and soul of the Roman Empire.

Ive dedicated this book to my small but growing audience of readers, specifically those who enjoyed my previous effort, The Last Viking . However, once more the folks at Osprey Publishing and Bloomsbury Publishing get credit for polishing At the Gates of Rome and presenting it to the public.
In New York, Krynn Hanold, Publicity Assistant at Bloomsbury, and in England, Elle Chilvers, Osprey Marketing Executive, without whom nobody would ever hear of my books. Copyeditor Anne Halliday, and proofreader Margaret Haynes, who I dont doubt strained her Oxford degree correcting my Latin translations. Ian Hughes, MA, author of Stilicho: The Vandal Who Saved Rome , whose peer review proved him much more than my peer. Gemma Gardner, Osprey Senior Desk Editor, for her remarkable patience with my nitpicking changes. And above all, Osprey Commissioning Editor Kate Moore, whose sharp readers-eye view and knowledge of history were essential to wringing the wrongs out of my initial draft. For decades Osprey books have been my first choice when researching any military history topic. To have my work included in the Osprey catalog again is a great honor.
And, of course, thanks most of all to my agent, Scott Mendel, Managing Partner of Mendel Media Group LLC, who handles the business and leaves me to handle the writing. Its an ideal relationship.
