A dramatic retelling of the final years of the Western Roman Empire and the downfall of Rome itself from the perspective of the Roman general Stilicho and Alaric, king of the Visigoths. It took little more than a single generation for the centuries-old Roman Empire to fall. In those critical decades, while Christians and pagans, legions and barbarians, generals and politicians squabbled over dwindling scraps of power, two men – former comrades on the battlefield – rose to prominence on opposite sides of the great game of empire. Roman general Flavius Stilicho, the man behind the Roman throne, dedicated himself to restoring imperial glory, only to find himself struggling for his life against political foes. Alaric, King of the Goths, desired to be a friend of Rome, was betrayed by it, and given no choice but to become its enemy. Battling each other to a standstill, these two warriors ultimately overcame their differences in order to save the empire from enemies on all sides. And when one of them fell, the other took such vengeance as had never been seen in history. Don Hollway, author of The Last Viking, combines ancient chroniclers' accounts of Stilicho and Alaric into an unforgettable history of betrayal, politics, intrigue and war for the heart and soul of the Roman Empire.

Excerpt from A Dying Empire: Central Europe, Pan-Germanism, and the Downfall of Austria-Hungary The world-.war respects neither person nor thing. The most venerable political institutions, the most deeply, rooted prejudices, have to cede to the spirit of a new society. In contemplating this puzzle of renovation and change which has, since the summer of 1914, transformed the life of every commonwealth in all its branches, we shall hardly, approach with courteous reverence the problem' of the Hapsburg Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of individuals perished in the epic conflict of the American Civil War. As battles raged and the specter of death and dying hung over the divided nation, the living worked not only to bury their dead but also to commemorate them. President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address perhaps best voiced the public yearning to memorialize the war dead. His address marked the beginning of a new tradition of commemorating American soldiers and also signaled a transformation in the relationship between the government and the citizenry through an embedded promise and obligation for the living to remember the dead. In Death at the Edges of Empire Shannon Bontrager examines the culture of death, burial, and commemoration of American war dead. By focusing on the Civil War, the Spanish-Cuban-American War, the Philippine-American War, and World War I, Bontrager produces a history of collective memories of war expressed through American cultural traditions emerging within broader transatlantic and transpacific networks. Examining the pragmatic collaborations between middle-class Americans and government officials negotiating the contradictory terrain of empire and nation, Death at the Edges of Empire shows how Americans imposed modern order on the inevitability of death as well as how they used the war dead to reimagine political identities and opportunities into imperial ambitions.

The Dying Empire plunges the reader straight into the Battle of Königgrätz. The decisive victory of the Prussian Army over the Austrians ushered in the final era of the illustrious Habsburg dynasty. 1867 saw the Habsburg's centre of power divided between Vienna and Budapest as, in a dramatic political shift, the Austrian Empire became the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, under the rule of the charismatic and iron-willed Franz Joseph I. Tells the story of an arrangement that existed for only 51 years: born of a battle in 1867 it was finally destroyed by war in 1918. Yet this half-century was the most creative, most open and innovative phase of six-hundred years of imperial Habsburg rule. Spans a period of slow faltering decline towards extinction, and equally a time of hectic vitality. As political and military power ebbed away, cultural power became an end in itself. Covers the years that gave us many of the names that shaped the last century: Freud, Schiele, Klimt, Kafka, Wittgenstein. The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy has presented a unique problem in European history -- each new successor state has made a great effort to start afresh, to build its own national history, art and culture, and to deny their defunct collective heritage. Andrew Wheatcroft strips the histories back to their origins in the Habsburg dynasty and tells a revelatory story of power, wealth, scandal and passion.
