Items related to Eagle in the Snow
The year is 406, and the hero of this remarkable historical novel (soon to become a film) is the commander Maximus. Only a single Roman legion stands guard on the Rhine, and these few men, led by the determined general, must somehow hold off the barbarian hordes. A taut and gripping story of the fall of the Roman empire, as seen through Maximus's eyes.

From the Publisher:
In the tradition of Robert Graves (I, Claudius) and Mary Renault (The Last of the Wine), Eagle in the Snow is a quality re-publication of the lost classic with an introduction by international bestselling historical novelist Steven Pressfield.
