Early Medieval Europe 300-1000
Read years ago; I don't give 2 stars often, but this was particularly dry and dull even by textbook standards - so frustrating as the Dark Ages / early Middle Ages is an exciting and chaotic period of history.
It is telling that the book is out of print. Chris Wickham's The Inheritance of Rome (2009), variously subtitled "A History of Europe from 400 to 1000" and "Illuminating the Dark Ages, 400-1000" is more up to date, more interesting to read, and widely recommended academically.
