The Vandals is the first book available in the English Language dedicated to exploring the sudden rise and dramatic fall of this complex North African Kingdom. This complete history provides a full account of the Vandals and re-evaluates key aspects of the society including:
- Political and economic structures such as the complex foreign policy which combined diplomatic alliances and marriages with brutal raiding
- The extraordinary cultural development of secular learning, and the religious struggles that threatened to tear the state apart
- The nature of Vandal identity from a social and gender perspective.
