Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy

4.0

Engrossing and fascinating biography of one of the world's most important individuals. Most people know Caesar vaguely as the guy who conquered Gaul and crossed the Rubicon, but not much beyond that. Here, we get to find out how Caesar became Caesar, and Goldsworthy places him within the context of his time. It mixes a good overview of his life, the life of the Roman Republic, and his military achievements (with specific descriptions of key battles he fought in his life).
