Synopsis
Are people more interesting in their rise or in their fall? You can find arguments to support either side. So, too, it is with nations and empires--especially Rome. Interesting in themselves, the events--and their explanations--carry many lessons for future generations and especially for our own. In HOW ROME FELL, Adrian Goldsworthy, a modern-day Gibbon, chronicles how, over three centuries, Rome went from superpower without equal, to a veritable carcass picked at by barbarians. This is not superficial history as Goldsworthy surveys factors such as the role of leaders, the role of the military, as well as morals and values. His presentation is learned and clear. And as for the parallels between Rome and the United States? While he disabuses readers of many easy comparisons, nevertheless, many echoes and parallels seem to come through.
