Before The Fall

Every fallen empire had one thing in common right before it collapsed — and it wasn't war.

"Before the Fall" breaks down 7 great civilizations (Rome, Byzantium, the Maya, France, the Ottomans, Qing China, the Soviet Union) and reveals the eerie pattern in their politics, lifestyle, and leadership in the years just before everything fell apart.

History doesn't repeat — but it rhymes. See the pattern for yourself.
