Description
Based on the hit podcast with over 100 million downloads, Fall of Civilizations brilliantly explores how a range of ancient societies rose to power and sophistication, and how they tipped over into collapse.
Across the centuries, we journey from the great empires of Mesopotamia to those of Khmer and Vijayanagara in Asia and Songhai in West Africa; from Byzantium to the Maya, Inca, and Aztec empires of the Americas; from Roman Britain to Rapa Nui.
With meticulous research, breathtaking insight, and dazzling, empathic storytelling, historian and novelist Paul Cooper evokes the majesty and jeopardy of these civilizations. He asks what it might have felt like for a person alive at the time as they witnessed the end of their world.
