Review: Very broad summary

This book is very short, and it is an overview rather than an in depth analysis. If you know nothing at all about the Roman empire, it will tell you it existed. If you already know it formed after the Roman republic and fell several hundred years later, it will only tease you with the knowledge you might gain if you read a real history book. I understand that this is a free book and no one can work for free, but I'd rather have something substantial and pay for it. The author sounds like he knows what he's talking about, and the style is clear and easy to read. Unfortunately there is very little substance.
