Conspirator and assassin, philosopher and statesman, promoter of tranquility and commander in warfare, Marcus Brutus (ca. 85-42 BC) was a controversial and enigmatic man even to those who realized him.

Was Brutus incorrect to wipe out his good friend and benefactor, or was he right to place his duty to country ahead of personal obligations? On this comprehensive and revitalizing biography, Kathryn Tempest delves into modern day sources to bring to light the personal and political battles Brutus confronted. As the details are revealed - from his own correspondence with Cicero, from the perceptions of his peers, and from the Roman aristocratic ideals and concepts that kept sway in his time - Brutus emerges from star, unveiled to us more surely than previously.
