Rome by Neil Faulkner
Explains the story of Rome's rise and fall. This book shows Rome to be a system of robbery with violence. Locked into a 'world system' of military competition between rival states, it strove to accumulate war-making capacity by waging wars of plunder and organising conquered territory into a 'military-supply' economy."Neil Faulkner's dynamic and provocative new history proves that there is a fresh, exciting new perspective to be found the narative is compelling" History Today May 2008
"The Roman Empire is widely admired as a model of civilization. However, in this grand scholarly narrative neil Faulkner challenges this view" - NADFAS Review, December 2008 (readership 294,000)
