Book Reviews of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Awe-inspiring account of the lost Roman dream
Summary: 4 Stars
At the beginning of this book the Roman empire stands unconquerable - arguably the most successful civilisation ever; by the end Constantinople is falling and the last Caesar is able to muster only a handful of soldiers for the defence of his degenerate regime. The scope of this book is awesome. It is hard to believe that the original text was written over 200 years ago. Gibbon's clarity of thought and arguement is superb.
