Subtitled, "The Life Of A Colossus". The story of one of the most brilliant, flamboyant historically important men who ever lived and the first major biography of Julius Caesar for decades. 'Adrian Goldsworthy's account of this extraordinary period is a superb achievement. He writes at length and in detail, but with a light touch, never allowing the complexities to obscure the sharpness of the story line... It is a model of the way ancient biographies should be written' "Literary Review"
