Brilliantly written, wonderfully accessible for non-classicists, and extremely thoroughly argued through one of the most complete primary source analyses I've ever read. The book would have benefitted slightly from keeping the thread of its primary argument (that changes wrought by Rome's relationship with the Germanic confederacies north of the Rhine and Danube and the rise of Hunnic power in the 350s ultimately brought about Rome's fall, rather than internal political decay) more present throughout its content-heavy chapters, but nevertheless a wonderful read.
