  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  As you sit there in front of the comforting glow of the television screen, the world outside continues as normal. Often, we are oblivious to the fact that ours is but one of many empires that have risen and fallen throughout the course of human history. 
   
  Yet ours is not an empire of a single state, ruled by some emperor. Ours is a global empire – an empire of connection, technology, and consumption. To most, the thought that this globalised, technologically advanced world, is just as fragile as those that came before us seems absurd. Yet the deserts are littered with the great crumbling monuments of once seemingly invincible nations, the citizens of which would have thought the same. 
   
  Those who understand the patterns of human civilisation cannot look around and think that what they see will last forever. The great works we build today will be the crumbling monuments of some future desert. We must therefore look to the past to understand both present realities and future possibilities. 
   
  So, join us now as we explore the rise and fall of past empires. You shall journey through vast cities, witness the creation of grand architecture marvels, worship strange gods long forgotten, and see a reflection of ourselves in the citizens of these empires.

  You Can't Get Much Closer Than...

  Andrew Z. Adkins III, A.Z. Adkins

  After the Citadel and Officer Candidate School, Andrew Z. Adkins Jr. was sent to the 80th Infantry Division, then training in the California-Arizona desert. There, he was assigned as an 81mm mortar section leader in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry Regiment. 
   
   
   
  Lieutenant Adkins and his fellow soldiers took part in light hedgerow fighting that served to shake the division down and familiarize the troops and their officers with combat. While scouting for mortar positions in the woods, Adkins met a group of Germans and shot one of them dead with his carbine. This baptism in blood settled the question faced by every novice combatant: He was cool under fire, capable of killing when facing the enemy. 
   
   
   
  Adkins acted with skill and courage, placing himself at the forefront of the action whenever he could. His extremely aggressive delivery of critical supplies to a cut-off unit in an embattled French town earned him a Bronze Star, the first in his battalion. 
   
   
   
  Before his death, Andy Adkins was able to face his memory of war as bravely as he faced war itself. In 1944-45, he did his duty to his men and country—and here, he serves new generations of military and civilian listeners.
