Are We Rome?

In *Are We Rome?*, Cullen Murphy explores what led to imperial Rome's decline to offer a stark warning for modern America. Murphy identifies disturbing parallels in burgeoning corruption, political insularity, border challenges, and pervasive privatization. He argues that America's "arrogant ignorance of the world outside" and internal decay must be reversed to avoid Rome's fate. Thomas E. Ricks calls it essential reading: "If you want to understand where America stands in the world today, read this."
