Luttwak's excellent piece on Romean grand strategy from the 1st Century A.D. to the 3rd.
There are some outstanding maps. What brings the book to life is that I have stood on many of the locations that he details in the book. I love this about history.
The ideas on border defense and the rationale behind an expanding and then contracting empire are intriguing.
The link between client states and deterrence is an interesting concept that deserves further study.
Great piece to re-read.
