Taking a journey through some of history's most climactic turns of fate, The Fall of Empires charts, from glory to ruin, sixteen ancient empires. In the process, it answers questions that are as fascinating as they are important: Was their downfall sudden and cataclysmic, or was it a gradual affair? Did another civilization spring from the ashes, or did the loss of supremacy leave a void that needed to be filled slowly and painfully? Taking readers back through realms as diverse as Mycenaean Greece, Han China, and Parthian Asia, this book offers a fresh, colourful look at the distant past and at the fascinating subject of imperial mortality.
