The rule of empires : those who built them, those who endured them, and why they always fall /

In this text, Timothy Parsons gives a sweeping account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent 20th-century embodiment. He explains what constitutes an empire and offers suggestions about what empires of the past can tell us about our own historical moment.
