Throughout history there have been many great individuals who stood out from the rest and lead their fellow man to places never before imagined. The lives and times of these individuals are taught in classes we know as history. From elementary school to college, students are taught the lessons of years past in hopes that the same mistakes won't be made and that a promising and better future will lay ahead. People come and go, governments and alliances change at the drop of a hat, but one thing always remains the same-all empires die. Sydney Spiegel takes a remarkable and innovative look at the history of the world and adds a modern day twist to the story he tells. "All Empires Die" is a book that is meant to demonstrate how the condition of the world yesterday can predict the future of the world today. The basic premise is that all civilizations were socially arranged so that the few ruled over the many, thus meaning that all of history is a story of the conflict between the values of generosity and selfishness. Spiegal argues this piont by engaging in first-person dicussions with famous historical figures of the past and discussing the merits of their philosophies and actions. Spiegel brings a wealth of knowledge to a topic that demands a strong understanding os social structures,political and religious beliefs and thought processes of every major historical era in the world. The characters number into the hundreds in this book and Spiegel accurately describes each man or woman to their status in history. "All Empires Die" is a remarkable achievment of one man's desire to show the importance of revoultion and intelligence and how the two combined can create a brave, new world of peace,safety and happiness.
