p.s. I admit I am only basing myself on the description but even the roman history part is crap. The efforts a string of talented emperors saved the empire. Over simplification and downright falsification with a political agenda. Two ingredients for quality crap.<br>
<br>
p.p.s. I have no intention of buying the book so it might seem I am not giving the author a chance. Life is too short. <p></p><i></i>
