Reader comments
I think its writing style is very similar to "Historical Records", which discusses history from a macro perspective. Moreover, the author quoted a lot of information, making the content very substantial. I plan to recommend it to friends who are interested in history and explore the story of the Huns together.
The content of this book is detailed, the citations of literature and historical materials are comprehensive, the inferences are well-founded, and it is very academic. Very valuable and helpful if you are a professional researcher. Others find it obscure and relatively boring.
