Edward Gibbon

Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) was an English historian and author of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest works of historical writing in the English language. This audiobook of Volume 2 continues his magisterial account of the forces — military, political, religious and cultural — that brought down the Roman Empire. Gibbon's prose is magnificent, and the audiobook is essential listening for history enthusiasts.
