This masterfully crafted narrative by Clifford Alexander takes you on a journey through one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in Roman history, an era that witnessed the drastic shift from the Roman Republic to the might of the Roman Empire. 
  In the first part of this comprehensive work, explore the intricate dynamics of the First Triumvirate. Witness the political genius of Julius Caesar, the wealth and ambition of Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the military prowess of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus as they join forces, only to find their alliance plagued by greed and betrayal. This segment brilliantly captures the end of the Roman Republic, marked by internal strife, power struggles, and the eventual descent into civil war. 
  Transition into the second part, where the aftermath of Caesar's assassination sets the stage for the Second Triumvirate. Here, the narrative delves into the alliance of Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. This section vividly portrays their initial unity against Caesar's assassins, the subsequent division of the Roman world, and the eventual rise of Augustus as the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. 
  "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" not only offers a detailed account of political maneuvers, battles, and the personalities that shaped an empire but also provides a deep understanding of the socio-political structures of ancient Rome.

  Medieval Invasions of Italy The:...

  The gradual collapse of the Roman Empire brought monumental changes to Europe and beyond. The system that once bound both sides of the Mediterranean Basin together was gone, and with it, many of the connections people from Mesopotamia to Spain and from Gaul to Arabia once enjoyed. In its place, a period of transition began - once referred to as the “Dark Ages,” although that term has fallen out of favor with modern scholars - after the Western Roman Empire ended in 476 and a host of new, primarily Germanic people inherited Roman lands, wealth, and ideas in Western Europe. Many of these Germanic tribes established large kingdoms, such as the Vandals in Spain and North Africa, the Franks in Gaul, the Visigoths in Spain, and the Ostrogoths in Italy. 
  Like the other Germanic tribes, the Lombards originated in Scandinavia before migrating slowly through central Europe, and as the Western Roman Empire collapsed and the Byzantine successor state in Constantinople attempted to reestablish order, the Lombards took advantage of the chaos and planted themselves firmly on Italian soil.  
  	As the Roman Empire in the West collapsed, the Berbers succumbed to the Vandals, a Germanic tribe from Europe, in the 5th century CE. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople rather than Rome, underwent something of a renewal, and the whole of the African coast from the Sinai Peninsula to the Straits of Gibraltar returned to Byzantine rule. With that, the Berbers were once again subject to a foreign power, but soon they would exchange their new masters for another, the Arabs, who would bring a new religion, Islam. Through Islam the Berbers would once again come into their own and influence the course of Mediterranean history as their ancient ancestors had done.

  Just six years after the Racial Reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, we are witnessing a full-scale assault on equality in America unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction. Building on the urgency and clarity of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his "spirited and persuasive" (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, Steve Phillips now calls on the nation to go back on the offensive in the fight for racial justice. 
  In twelve short, animated chapters covering the fields of government, education, business, philanthropy, media, arts and entertainment, and democracy itself, Phillips exposes how Straight White American Male Preference (or S.W.A.M.P.) has come roaring out of the shadows once again. He makes a powerful argument for how widespread persistent inequality largely stems from the deeply ingrained practice of providing unfair, if not unconstitutional, preferences to straight white men. 
  Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else? calls for nothing less than draining the swamp of white male privilege. Fearless, sharp, and deeply researched, this much-needed corrective offers those who wish to help make this nation a multiracial democracy—where all people are truly equal—the arguments, evidence, and inspiration they need to launch a new counterattack.
