I've long been fascinated with parallels between the late Roman Republic and contemporary America. This is a great refresher on the history. I've just started it, and it's a really engaging read.

The parallels between Rome's "pirate crisis" and America's "terrorism crisis" in ending civil liberties are frighteningly instructive.

I wrote the above long ago but never submitted this review, and the parallels have gotten even more striking.
