I really liked this book because it's very short and to the point about the rise and fall of the Roman empire. It shows why they were such a great empire and what inevitably lead them to their downfall. It goes into detail of the things that the Romans contributed to the world and why they were around for so long. It definitely wasn't a coincidence that they survived for so long. It isn't very in depth since it's so short, but it's very attention grabbing and gives you a lot of information. It would be especially good to give this book to a student who's studying on the Roman empire. It will spark their interest and guide them in doing their own research about it. We all know that textbooks can be boring and lengthy, so this book is the perfect thing for those who get tired of reading about history rather quickly. In the end, it does give a rather important life lesson, too! Sometimes pursuing personal interests rather than what is the best option can be the downfall of something great.
