The book delves into the life and exploits of Attila, the renowned leader of the Huns, and traces the impact of his empire on the Roman world and the broader civilizational context of the time. Hutton aims to shed light on Attila's legacy, exploring themes of barbarism versus civilization in a formative period of European history. The opening of the text sets the stage for a discussion of the Huns and their significance in history. Hutton begins with a poetic quotation that characterizes the Huns as a barbaric force and draws parallels to the actions of the German Empire during World War I. He reflects on the identity and origins of the Huns, tracing their lineage and cultural attributes while considering the broader social and political implications of their invasions of the Roman Empire. The text emphasizes the continuity of barbarian threats throughout history, suggesting that the power dynamics established during Attila's time have resonance with the events of Hutton's own era.
