the problems with history modern or historical is that there tends to be two view point that of the victims and that off the victors. the truth lies some were in between as the huns left no written accounts were depending on other peoples [ chiefly the romans ].accounts of attila vary depending on who has written about him and his people. modern day politicians spin doctors etc can get away with bare faced lies or to potray a view that is far from savoury or full of half truths. modern day scribes will give a bias towards there political/religous views regarding coverage of modern day events wars/conflicits as they did in the WW1/WW2 or any war fought down the ages. propaganda was/is a part of war as weapons or anything else the political intrigues off the roman/greek/mongol courts with political rivaliries are the same today as they were before christ or hitler/stalin.the point i amm making is the view is going to be bias to group as another view is biased towards its opponent.some off the works dealing with attila were hostile to say the least. the more i read on history the further from the truth it sometimes appears to be. classic examples of this are secret history off the mongols/ and genghis khan world conquerer by ata-malik juvaini.
