Empire: A New History of the World by Paul Strathern

Empire: A New History of the World by Paul Strathern

Strathern surveys the rise and fall of major empires across human history — from ancient Mesopotamia and Rome through the Mongols, Ottomans and European colonial powers — looking for recurring patterns in how vast political structures are built, sustained and eventually collapse.

Written for general readers rather than specialists, the book moves briskly across enormous stretches of time, using each empire as a case study in the mechanics of expansion, administration and decline, while drawing connections between historical patterns and the political dynamics of more recent global power.

An ambitious, accessible sweep through world history via the rise and fall of empires.
