Twelve Greeks and Romans Who Changed the World di Carl J. Richard
So good I want to read it again.
I enjoyed seeing how the Founding Fathers interpreted the Greek and Roman classics, and what they borrowed and didn't borrow. Very interesting book.

Perhaps my expectations were off because of the dust cover but there is not much on the Western World; but, this could serve as an introductory volume on the Romans. Richard's related works may be better in that they tie the American tradition to the Romans. Still to be preferred though is The Romans: An Introduction to Their History and Civilization by Karl Christ; and, the magisterial volume along these lines is The Classical Tradition: Greek and Roman Influences on Western Literature by Gilbert Highet.… (altro)
An excellent blend of two of my favourite subjects--the American Founding Fathers and the Classical tradition. I would highly recommend this book to people interested in either subject. The author does a superb job of demonstrating the Classical tradition in which the Founders were steeped and by which they were influenced. If you're looking to understand better the roots of American ideology, read this book.
