Elon Musk also knows memes and therefore shared on the social network X a list of historical books for “those who think about the Roman Empire every day.” Save!
- “History of Civilization”, William Durant;
- “The Iliad”, Homer;
- “The Road to Serfdom”, Friedrich August von Hayek;
- “American Caesar” by William Manchester;
- Lords of the Apocalypse, David Kushner;
- “The Price of Destruction. The Making and Fall of the Nazi Economy,” by Adam Tooze;
- “In Steel Storms”, Ernst Junger;
- Guns of August, Barbara Tuchman;
- “Notes on the Gallic War”, Aulus Hirtius and Gaius Julius Caesar;
- “Twelve Against the Gods: A Tale of Adventure”, William Bolitho (Russian translation unpublished);
- “Genghis Khan and the Birth of the Modern World” by Jack Weatherford.
The billionaire noted that reading the first book will take a long time (of course, since William Durant wrote the book for 46 years and the work consists of 11 volumes), but it will be worth it.
In the meantime, we have compiled 20 incredible historical facts here, and you can find out how well you know the Roman Empire by taking our test.
