The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire

byKyle Harper

Focused on climate, Disease, and the End of an Empire, The Fate of Rome brings Kyle Harper's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and medical. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Together, these elements make The Fate of Rome an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
