The War That Made the Roman Empire Quotes

“History is full of examples of generals done in by their own blind spots: from a willingness of the Persian fleet to sail into the Greek's trap in the Salamis straits; to the legions that marched into Arminius's ambush in the Teutoburg Forest; to the American warships and airplanes that were easy pickings for the Japanese attackers at Pearl harbor.”
― Barry Strauss, The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium
