“History tells us that, given enough time, all empires will fall. But if we do not also come to understand how and why they rise, we will remain trapped in this cycle forever.”

This is how the new book I just picked up, “The Rise and Fall Of the Galactic Empire” begins. I’m intrigued by it…it’s very interesting, and also very relevant to current events. Written by a real historian in the voice of a fictional historian writing about the Empire through the time of the 3 #StarWars trilogies.
