I think that Slater recommended this book to Tokyodreamer, who wondered where to find it. Well here's a link, since the book is online.

Wow, thanks! I caved and got the abridged version (available at any Books-a-Million or Barnes & Noble), but this will be handy if there are any parts I'd like to read that aren't in my version.

Hey, I was taking full advantage of the DSL connection at work. Looking up web books for some reading material. Saw that and thought you might like it.

The Unabridged version of *Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire* goes into extreme detail about all aspects of the Empire (almost ad nauseum, such as when discussing military practices in minute detail). I think that, to get a general feel for the Empire, an abridged version (written by an expert, of course) would be adequate.
