Acerca de esta escucha

The Roman Empire lasted a solid 500 years—an impressive number by any standard. The decline and final collapse of the Roman Empire took longer than most other empires even existed. Any historian trying to unearth the grand strategy of the Roman Empire must, therefore, always remain cognizant of the time scale. Over the centuries, the Empire's underlying economy, political arrangements, military affairs, and the myriad of external threats it faced were in constant flux, making adaptability to changing circumstances as important to Roman strategists as it is to strategists of the modern era.

Yet the very idea of Rome having a grand strategy, or what it might be, had not concerned historians until Edward Luttwak's The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire appeared forty years ago. Although this pioneering work generated much debate, it failed to win over many ancient historians, in part because of its heavy emphasis on military force and its neglect of considerations of diplomacy, economics, politics, culture, and the changing nature of the threats that confronted Rome.

By employing an expansive definition of strategy and by focusing much of the narrative on crucial historical moments and the personalities involved, James Lacey provides a comprehensive, persuasive, and engaging account of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

The book is great but the narrator is HORRIBLE! I don’t think the narrator has ever learned Roman history because he pretty much gets 75% of the names wrong. Ugh

Great analysis of the Roman Empire. Different approach from those I’ve read before. Excellent reader. But some names not pronounced correctly

Great analysis

The author sets out to demonstrate Rome had strategy. He makes his point in the book. There is so much history and names it is hard to retain details. Perhaps you’re not supposed to, just his point. I did have my own take away about how brutal and yet in some ways civil these times were.
