I enjoyed the information on ancient Roman military history and warfare. The diagrams of various Roman battle formations and battles in Roman history were particularly helpful. The book was especially interesting for me, as a Soldier, to see where so many of the customs and traditions still used in many militaries today originated. Plus this has to be the coolest book I've ever been assigned to read for a class! Detailed description of Roman army (as possible, regarding the time-span covered [each chapter could be covered by at least the book of the same size]) evolution – from the early legions, highly disciplined and hardened veterans of Imperialist era to border-guarding standing army at the very end of the Roman Empire. Many parallels can be found with militaries around the world today (especially of those considered to be super powers) – what happens to the perfectly honed war machines when there are no enemies left to fight?

When Alexander the Great carved out his empire, Rome was just one of many city states on the Italian peninsula. Yet it conquered its neighbours one-by-one, defeated Carthage and eventually overwhelmed the Greek successor states too. As its republican institutions gave way to Imperial rule by Augustus and his heirs, the Roman Empire extended from the French Atlantic coast to Syria. Later conquests included Britain and much of modern Romania. How did Rome overcome opponent after opponent? What was the grand strategy of the Roman Empire? Adrian Goldsworthy reveals why Rome developed the most professional fighting force of the ancient world and what it was like to be a soldier in the legions.
