Rome: A History in Seven Sackings Review: A new approach to writing history ... and it works! - I've never read a work like this before, which starts with the obvious history of an era, then takes into account the temperature of the civilization as it was at the point of invasion, and how it affected it and repointed it toward its next historic period. There is nothing dull in Roman history, although you wouldn't know it from some of the histories out there, and this book avoids all the traps while telling the tale of a city and its ability to mirror the entire European world around it. I found all of it fascinating, but the story of Rome during World War II was particularly eye-opening and provided an insight I'd never found in half a century of reading history. The city comes alive, over and over. The writing is strong, as strong as the story it tells. Kudos. More like this, please. Review: No Info on the Vandal Sack of 455 - If you're looking for information on the Vandal sack of 455, amazingly it's not here. The narrative skips from Alaric's sack of 410 right to the Gothic sack of 546! How the Vandal one didn't make the cut, I have no idea. The Vandal sack did far more damage to Rome than Alaric's 45 years earlier. Taking away one star for that--I mean, jeez, it's why I bought the book in the first place, looking for research on the Vandal invasion. Other than that, well researched and written. Just sad that the one I was sure would be there, wasn't. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1501191098 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,114,350 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #670 in Italian History (Books) #1,059 in Ancient Roman History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (481) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.5 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9781501191091 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501191091 | | Item Weight | 1.36 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | May 15, 2018 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster | ## Images ![Rome: A History in Seven Sackings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fBJm3JR0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A new approach to writing history ... and it works! *by A***H on October 4, 2020* I've never read a work like this before, which starts with the obvious history of an era, then takes into account the temperature of the civilization as it was at the point of invasion, and how it affected it and repointed it toward its next historic period.

Just sad that the one I was sure would be there, wasn't. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book if you plan on visiting Rome anytime soon *by A***Y on September 5, 2018* I read this book on my flight to Italy, hoping to quickly re-aquaint myself with Roman history that I learned in college. The book helped me appreciate everything I saw during my time in Rome, particularly during when i visited Castel Sant’Angelo, as described in the fourth sacking chapter. Amazing that Rome has withstood so many calamities. I found that the book far more informative than run of the mill tourist books. Glad I read it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66683036-rome-a-history-in-seven-sackings](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66683036-rome-a-history-in-seven-sackings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
