Books by Christopher Kelly

Rousseau's responses to the religious and political critics of his works

Attila the Hun - godless barbarian and near-mythical warrior king - has become a byword for mindless ferocity.

Kelly portrays a complex system of government openly regulated by networks of personal influence and the payment of money. Focusing on the Roman Empire after Constantine's conversion to Christianity, Kelly illuminates a period of increasingly centralized rule through an ever more extensive and intrusive bureaucracy.
