The Roman Republic

Rating:
Summary: Useful but riviting history.
Review: Asmov covers this time in history with humor, realism and wit. It's acurate enough to be a source and enjoyable enough to just sit and read. I found his writing to be inpartial and eloquent.

Summary: The best all around book about the roman republic.
Review: The great thing about this book is that it is written by an actual writer. Too many times i have picked up a history book by some famous historian and have found the sentances so convoluted that i could hardly find any meaning in them. Many historians have attempted to become authors and have failed. Asimov is a writer who has become a historian with sucess. This book offers a glimpse at the Roman Republic with the same depth as many well known historians, but is on a literary difficulty level equal to the cat in the hat. I have read many books that are slightly more indepth than this, but none that were written in a way so that the level of understanding of the roman republic even comes close to the level provided by asimov.

Summary: The best book on rome ever
Review: This is th best history book iv ever read. It is clear well written and complete. Asimov Roman Republic covers every last aspect of pre imperial rome to the smallest war. Not only does it cover everything but asimov also gives his historical commentary. For example he explains where myths might of emerged from and points out possible motives. Also this book is written for anyone no hard words no difficult concepts a 3 year old could read this book!Finally wat makes this book excelent is it is written like a story making it very interesting.
