I want to read about the historical cycles of civilizations and civilizations decline and collapse.

Also about the moral decay in the last stage of the collapse of a civilization.

What do you got?

I would recommend The Story of Civilization series by Will Durant. It's an 11 part series, starting from ancient oriental civilization, through the napoleonic era
