Chroniclers painted them as "barbarians," yet Vandals: Masters of the Mediterranean uncovers a people capable of governance, innovation, and resilience.</p><p>This is the definitive account of the Vandals-a story of conquest, survival, and influence, told with rich detail and compelling narrative, transforming a feared and misunderstood people into one of the Mediterranean's most fascinating historical powers.</p>
