Summary
Summary
In Empires of Trust, Professor Thomas F. Madden explores surprising parallels between the Roman and American republics. By making friends of enemies and demonstrating a commitment to fairness, the two republics-both "reluctant" yet unquestioned super - powers-built empires based on trust. Madden also includes vital lessons from the Roman Republic's 100-year struggle with "terrorism."Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“An entertaining comparison by an astute historian…Gems for history buffs as well as those who have never considered that something that happened before 1900 might matter.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“A breakout book.”
—Richard Ellis, author of Founding Fathers
“[Madden’s] revisionist and iconoclastic view is made palpable through a tour-de-force narration by Richard Poe…insights into recent American history make this a stimulating audiobook.”
