![]() ![]() Sep 20, 2019: E J Bauer | Author Memoirs are a favourite genre of mine, but it's rare that a personal story reads like well-written fiction. It was well written, easy to read, and totally engrossing from the outset. I like how there are mentions throughout the book of what music was playing at the time, as in this example: You Make me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra. Life, loves, losses, challenges, memories and emotions, all perfectly captured. Just a little way in and it was already a powerful read.

Neil Gaiman was a huge part of my childhood and youth-I read SANDMAN when I was thirteen or fourteen, and American Gods was my favorite novel in high school. What's there? What can be done with them?

Better instead to look to the empire's eastern incarnation: Byzantium, which outlasted its Roman predecessor by eight centuries. It has never been Rome, but to adopt its strategies - its ruthless expansion of empire, domination of foreign peoples, and bone-crushing brand of total war - would only hasten the US's decline. The United States needs serious strategic counseling.
