Title: The definitive resource on decline of empires
Review: Paul Kennedy's work should be required reading for high school seniors, and again for college seniors, in order to provide everyone with the historical underpinnings that show why geopolitical struggles take place today as well as why emotions play such a large part in how one group of people relate to another. His work is well-referenced, encyclopedic in scope, and accurate without bias. Having been a student of Dr Eugene Odom, the father of modern ecology, I've had a long-standing interest in how we interact with the world around us, to include how great societies have used natural resources to subjugate those with less might in arms. This book helps to provide a map of how power has shifted over time and how it has transferred resources from conquered areas to the conquerors. I don't know of any other work which comes close to Mr Kennedy's tome.
