Sidonius Apollinaris and the fall of Rome, AD 407-485 by Jill Harries
It is a great pity this scholarly publication didn't get a wider public. At $110.00 new, or 95.00 second hand it is not likely to. But what it does do is explain a great deal about the process of the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West.
