From the ashes of an empire, a new world struggles to emerge. In The Dark Ages, eminent historian Charles Oman delivers a vivid and authoritative account of Europe's turbulent centuries between the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of medieval civilization.
Covering the years 476–918 AD, Oman examines the dramatic shifts in power, culture, religion, and society. From the invasions of Goths, Vandals, and Huns, to the rise of the Frankish Kingdom, the spread of Christianity, and the birth of feudal Europe, this work provides a sweeping yet detailed view of an often-misunderstood era.
With a balance of scholarly insight and narrative clarity, Oman separates myth from fact, revealing that the so-called "Dark Ages" were a time not only of conflict and decline, but also of resilience, transformation, and the seeds of modern Europe.
