Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy

5.0

What a fantastic scholastic work! Presented as an attempt to reconstruct the events of Caesar's life, Goldsworthy succeeds magnificently. By no means is this an easy read or intended for a casual reader. That is not to say that this book is not accessible, I would only recommend this to someone with more than a passing intrest in Roman history.

This book demands and earns your attention and time. Meticulous research and a professorial style culminate in a not always easy to read but always rewarding experince.

As a student of history, but having little exposure to this time period, I am glad to have started with this extraordinary biography.
