Over some 1200 years, the Romans proved adept at learning from military disaster and this was key to their eventual success and hegemony. Roman Military Disasters covers the most pivotal and decisive defeats, from the Celtic invasion of 390 BC to Alaric's sack of Rome in AD 410. Paul Chrystal details the politics and strategies leading to each conflict, how and why the Romans were defeated, the tactics employed, the generals and the casualties. However, the unique and crucial element of the book is its focus on the aftermath and consequences of defeat and how the lessons learnt enabled the Romans, usually, to bounce back and win. Views: 18
Two years ago a fist not only torn away the last tattered
threads of Riley Ross’s ability to trust another human being with her heart,

start any relationships.
So when she arrives to pick up her younger brother from his
soccer practice and sees that Jalen Rivera is his new coach, she knows she’s in
for a battle. Because if there ever was a man who could tempt her to forget her
vow, it was Jalen. She’d managed to resist him once, could she find the
selflessness to do so again?
Jalen can’t believe his good fortune when he learns that
Riley still isn’t seeing anyone. But convincing her to give them a chance might
be more difficult than he anticipated. Can he prove to her that true love is not
written in the sand, but is etched into a foundation stone that is bigger than
either of them?
