Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes political strategy by examining the role of conquered and colonized people in the history of powerful nations. The author begins by looking at the Roman model of empire-building, highlighting that Rome's unwillingness to share power and privilege with conquered territories often led to instability and revolt. Applying these lessons, the author argues that for empires to thrive, they must work to integrate and improve the lives of their subject peoples. The author also explores the different ways political power has been exercised and abused by those in positions of authority throughout history. The book asserts that the best governments are those that prioritize the liberty of the individual as it contributes to the strength of the whole - and those that find a balance between that liberty and the strength of the state. By understanding how power has been used and abused in the past, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
