Three Pillars of Wisdom: The True Nature of Government, Religion, and Law (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781680533965)

Dr. Michael Arnheim ("Doctor Mike") is a practicing London barrister, sometime Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and author of 26 books. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, he enrolled at the University of the Witwatersrand at age 16 and received a first-class B.A. in History and Classics at 19, first-class honors in Classics at 20, and an M.A. with distinction at 21. He then attended St John's College, Cambridge, on a National Scholarship, and received his Ph.D. In 1972, his doctoral dissertation was published as The Senatorial Aristocracy in the Later Roman Empire. He was elected a Fellow of St John's, where he continued his research and also taught classics and ancient history at Cambridge before returning to South Africa to head Witwatersrand's classics department. Despondent over his country's future, Dr. Arnheim returned to Britain, where he was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn. His most recent books include U.S. Constitution for Dummies, Anglo-American Law: A Comparison, Why Rome Fell: Decline and Fall, or Drift and Change?, and Five Thousand Years of Monarchy.
