Romanifesto by Asa Bennett
Despite the last days of Rome being around 1,500 years ago, the shadow of its empire - and what those who lived in it had to say - still looms over modern politics. Politics may be less bloody these days, but little has changed. To understand the present you need to study the past, something Bennett manages with great wit and insight.
'Engaging and written with verve' - Daily Telegraph "This wonderful book looks at the classics from Ancient Rome and Athens and translates their lessons into modern day politics. It's also very funny. A great stocking filler if ever there was one." - Iain Dale, LBC Radio "A sharp, smart and frighteningly familiar portrait of political power. If you think our politicians are bad, wait until you meet the Romans in Bennett's lively guide." - Daisy Dunn, classicist
