In Quest of the Lost Legions

It was a military disaster on a huge scale. It dealt a body blow to the might of Imperial Rome, and may have changed the course of European history.
Three entire legions and support troops - 25,000 thousand men in all - were wiped out by German tribesmen in the Teutoburger Wald in AD 9. It was a savage running battle lasting four days, and where Varus' surviving legionaries made their last stand is the subject of this book.
The author claims to have established Kalkriese as the last point of attack, the bottleneck where the six to seven thousand were trapped and died.
Here we have a gripping story of field detection, buried treasures, local legends and archaeological research, persistence and reward.
The fruits of many years are here in this vivid record of one man's mission of discovery - into the fate of so many men all those centuries ago.
