if you are not a student of classical history. --;i>The American
Spectator
--Brandon Crocker "The American Spectator ""
"Goldsworthy . . . claims the empire's fatal move was to make the
centre of authority Rome and its experienced senatorial government
irrelevant. . . . Goldsworthy's expertise guarantees his clearly

self-destructiveness of Roman imperial and military institutions.
He has, however, provided one of the most penetrating and
well-written analyses of how this dysfunction led to the fall of
the Roman Empire." Daniel P. Murphy, Magill's Literary Annual
