In the summer of 451 AD, the most feared man alive led the largest army the Western world had ever seen into the heart of Gaul. His name was Attila. And he had never lost.

City after city fell before him. Emperors cowered. The Western Roman Empire - already crumbling, already hollowed out - seemed to have no answer for the storm coming from the east. But one man refused to break.

Flavius Aetius was Rome's last great general, a soldier who had spent his boyhood as a hostage among the Huns and understood Attila better than any man alive. In a desperate gamble, he forged an alliance of bitter enemies - Romans, Visigoths, Burgundians, Alans - and marched them to meet the Scourge of God on a flat plain in what is now northern France.

What followed was one of the largest battles in the ancient world. Tens of thousands died in a single afternoon. A king fell. And for the only time in his life, Attila retreated.

The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains changed the course of Western history. Almost no one has heard of it.

The Last Stand of the West is the gripping narrative account of the forgotten battle that stopped the Hunnic tide - told through the lives of the commanders who fought it, the soldiers who died in it, and the eyewitnesses who recorded it. Drawing on ancient sources including the remarkable firsthand account of Roman diplomat Priscus of Panium - a man who sat at Attila's own dinner table - this is history as it should be told: urgent, human, and impossible to put down.

Book One in the Forgotten Battles series.

Perfect for fans of Tom Holland, Adrian Goldsworthy, and Mike Duncan.
