Empires of Trust: How Rome Built--And America Is Building--A New World Capa dura - 2008
por Thomas F. Madden
A tale of two superpowers unique in the history of the world, offeringa totally original comparison of the United States and ancientRome: celebrating similarities and delivering urgent insights intoAmerica's current crises.
Does America face the same destiny endured by ancientRome? Is the U.S. military overextended? Does the separationof church and state strengthen or weaken a geopoliticalpowerhouse? Is the United States just another Empire ofConquest being corrupted by its own power? Of late, it isnot only historians who have been asking these questions.Thomas Madden, an award-winning professor of history,now shows almost everything we thought we knew aboutRome to be wrong, and revolutionizes our understanding ofwhat a good world empire can be.
Taking readers on a dramatic tour of the Roman Republic,a golden era before the depravities of the Caesars and lateEmpire, Madden uncovers a peaceful, retiring people whoabove all wanted to be left alone to enjoy their own familiesand communities, maintaining the rural traditions of theirforebears. But external threats required them to establishsecurity, which they did by creating superlative militaryforces and transforming defeated enemies into friends.Trust, not brutality, was the key ingredient. All other empiressince have been Empires of Conquest until now.
Beginning with a Roman story strikingly parallel to theAmerican Abu Ghraib scandal, Madden provides a muchneeded historical context to our burning contemporarydebates. The United States can be an empire of trust, andMadden is on a mission to get pundits, candidates, andother election-year spectators which means all of us torecognize this profound duty.
