History of the Decline and Fall of the New Roman Empire
About This Novel
Under Caesar Augustus, the empire prospered admirably for the next 200 years. Then, after a series of missed opportunities, mistakes and wars, Augustus's successors first proved themselves capable of sustaining the family business in crisis and then rescued the Roman world from ancient national rivalries, only to suffer a tragic reversal and lose all the opportunities Rome had won. What this book tells is the tragic plot at its center. At that time, the great Roman Empire could no longer understand itself and its world, and continued to cling to its past ambitions and achievements, resulting in its own destruction. "The Decline and Fall of the New Roman Empire" is the latest masterpiece of Princeton University historian Professor O'Donnell. It focuses on novelty and has a strong concern for reality.
