Goldsworthy pictures an empire in decline, though not necesarily doomed to collapse, until hit by a series of calamities. Heather paints a picture of a more robust empire, with some serious issues but definitely stable, until hit by a series of calamities. Either one is good. I wouldn&#039;t say either is more right or wrong, but they have shaped my understanding of the collapse, and if you liked the mumbo jumbo I wrote in my long posts, then you&#039;ll like both of these books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
