About This Book

The author presents a compact political and institutional narrative tracing the country's development from its ancient ties to Rome to the author's present, favoring explanation over mere chronology. Emphasis falls on the causes and consequences of wars, revolutions, and policy choices, and on the practical difficulties of governing and maintaining a state. The account aims for balanced treatment of different eras, incorporates diplomatic, maritime, and financial perspectives, and synthesizes earlier scholarship to make motives and outcomes clearer for general readers.
