Death of a Superpower

How Rome Fell

This book would make an excellent textbook for a college level course on the decline of the Roman Empire. I say that with the upmost respect. As a history nerd, I enjoyed reading this book and appreciated the thorough historiography Goldsworthy used when writing this book. He maintained a level of objectivity necessary for providing a detailed introduction to the topic. It's not particularly engaging, thus the slightly lower rating.
