The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic - Lessons for Modern America

...."Much has been made of the decline and fall of the (Roman) empire, but the real story, which had concluded by the time of Christ, was the decline and fall of the republic." writes Steve Bonta in The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic. With an emphasis on original sources, Dr. Bonta surveys a vast stretch of time - more than 1,200 years of Roman history - and delivers a powerful message that has pointed relevance for modern day Americans. .. Written in a colorful style that brings an entire historical era to life, The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic reads like a warning signal for our civilization, as the importance of limited government, then and now, is made evident for even the casual reader. .. Consequently, this book is a must-read not only for the history buff or advanced student, but for those of us who simply worry weather our own nation's current plight has more than one possible final chapter."
