Alamanni, their settlements, their politics, and their society, and to establish the nature of their relationship with Rome.

When much of the western Empire fell to the Franks, so did the Alamanni, without ever having produced their own 'successor kingdom'. - ;Drinkwater's book immediately takes its place as one of the most focused and detailed analyses of the Alamanni in existence, certainly the best available in English. - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
