Question: William Dietrich or William Napier!?
I'm a great fan of Bernard Cornwell but now I'd like to read something on Attila the Hun!. I'm looking for a kind of historical fiction that is historically well-researched (just like Cornwell's books)!. I have two possible candidates: William Dietrich and William Napier!. Which one should I opt for!? Could you please explain your choice! Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
