THE NOBLEST ROMANS OF THEM ALL WERE HIS CONTEMPORARIES...
POMPEY, CÆSAR, BRUTUS, ANTONY, AUGUSTUS
With the skill of a novelist, H. J. Haskell brings to life these awesome, dazzling figures from the past. Here are no marbled heroes dusted from the pages of history texts, but flesh-and-blood men and women in the act of living and loving, deceiving and destroying, conniving and conquering. In their battles for the glory and power that lay at the head of the Roman state they stumbled into history and shaped the future.
The intrigues and conspiracies of the twentieth century are mirrored in these ancient struggles, and their reflection casts a brilliant light on the perilous political arenas of our own time.
A most extraordinary biography of the great Roman orator and statesman.
