В книге "Буря перед бурей" Майк Дункан мастерски описывает события в Римской республике между 146–78 гг. до н. э., оживляя кровавые битвы, политические махинации и человеческую драму, которые подготовили почву для падения великой империи. Римская республика была одним из самых выдающихся достижений в истории цивилизации. Начав с небольшого города-государства в центральной Италии, Рим постепенно занял большие территориальные владения в Европе и Средиземноморье, наполненные мелкими тиранами, варварскими вождями и деспотическими царями. На протяжении веков римская модель правления оставалась удивительно прочной и не имеющей себе равных в истории Древнего мира.

"Цель этой книги - дать читателю точную картину тех переживаний, которые пехотинец - стрелок и командир - испытывает, находясь в знаменитом полку, и тех мыслей, которые при этом посещают его. Книга возникла из дневниковых записей, отлитых в форме воспоминаний. Я старался записывать непосредственные впечатления, ибо заметил, как быстро они стираются в памяти, по прошествии нескольких дней, принимая уже совершенно иную окраску. Я потратил немало сил, чтобы исписать пачку записных книжек… и не жалею об этом. Я не военный корреспондент и не предлагаю коллекции героев; мое намерение - не живопись, как это могло быть, но описывать все так, как это было в действительности". , - из предисловия Э.Юнгера к 1-му изданию "В стальных грозах".
