Empires of trust [electronic resource] : how Rome built--and America is building--a new world / Thomas F. Madden.

Madden, Thomas F. (Author). Poe, Richard. (Narrator).

Summary:

Madden explores surprising parallels between the Roman and American republics. By making friends of enemies and demonstrating a commitment to fairness, the two republics--both "reluctant" yet unquestioned super-powers--built empires based on trust. Madden also includes vital lessons from the Roman Republic's 100-year struggle with "terrorism."
