 Wallace Breem: Eagle in the Snow: General Maximus and Rome's Last Stand: Compare Cheapest Prices UK
The finale as Mother Nature plays her cruel trick on the defending Romans is superbly executed by Breem as the tension mounts and the fury of the starving barbarians is unleashed.
Wallace Breem had been a soldier in the Indian Colonial Army and saw service on the North West frontier.
Historians and archaeologists have made progress on the subject since Breem wrote his book and one might wish that the rigidity of life in the province of Gallia, the 'Germanisation' of the west had been painted in greater detail.

 Eagle In The Snow - Wallace Breem
This makes him an ideal choice to introduce Breem's work, as there is a pleasing contrast between their books.
Most strikingly of all, Pressfield's story is fiery and passionate, but Breem's prose is cold and hard, almost detached and fatalistic.
For much of this book the man of iron, the general of terrible purpose and fearsome reputation is a tired old man with a broken heart, but Breem masterfully covers that with perhaps a couple of dozen words throughout the entire novel.

Of course, Breem was an officer in the old Indian Army, and served just after WWII, as the British Empire was crumbling, so it's not hard to see the book as a little bit of projection.
Wallace Breem crafts it so the reader really wants to see the general succeed, yet you already know he is destined for failure.
Breem has been able to, with the skill of his stylus, show us truth about humanity as a whole.

 Books: Maximus to the Rescue
Wallace Breem's Eagle in the Snow (New York: Rugged Land LLC, 2003, reprint of 1970 edition; $24.95) starts with a fascinating historical fact.
The narrator, the fictional General Paulinus Gaius Maximus, must stop the barbarians, and the ingenious ways he tries to achieve this and the bravery he and his men show forms the heart of the story.
Breem's vivid battle descriptions provide a picture of a man attempting to prevent a human tidal wave from overwhelming the Roman Empire, from the Rhine to Rome.
