I mention decline a lot on here, in passing, as in decline of the western empire. But I don't feel I have a good grasp of the history of empires more generally (well, things that have gotten that label in history, like the roman empire).

And I don't want to end up in bougie land trying to learn more about it, cause I figure they're going to romanticize empires more so.

There's also Gerald Horne, who has many books that focus on the rise of the USA as an empire. But also ends up talking a lot about the British empire too.

You should probably look at eric hobsbawm books as well.
