The Dark Ages (Used Hardcover) - Martin J. Dougherty

A Misunderstood Era in History?

The “Dark Ages” is a period in history that conjures up images of war, destruction, and death, but is this stereotyped vision really accurate?

The Dark Ages explores the centuries after the fall of Rome, where we have been led to believe that life was savage and lawless and full of uncultured barbarians, evil tyrants, and superstitious peasants.

It was a time of great change, but it was also a time when kingdoms were emerging that would be the foundation of our modern states, great works were undertaken, and bodies of law were written. It was a period of transition.

Illustrated with 180 photographs and illustrations.
