Caesar

This “captivating biography” of the great Roman general “puts Caesar’s war exploits on full display, along with his literary genius” and more ( The New York Times ) Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the Julius Caesar’s life, Adrian Goldsworthy not only chronicles his accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult and captive of pirates, and rebel condemned by his own country.
