Instead, the book posits that America today is like the last days of the Roman republic, in the immediate years before Octavian rose to power, quelled civil discontent, and established an Imperial line as Augustus Caeser.”

In which case you’d probably very much enjoy Imperium by Robrt Harris. Which explores this from the Roman point of view.
