[Read by Frederick Davidson]
Since the Renaissance, Julius Caesar has been idolized as a superman. Since there is without doubt that Caesar was a fantastic man, General Fuller points out that he was more extraordinary for his reckless ambition, matchless daring, and ruthless tyranny than for his skill as a military commander. Caesar continually needed to extricate himself from the results of his errors in judgment, and his unpremeditated Gallic conquest is just one of Fuller's many examples.
In telling Caesar's story, Fuller also illuminates a century of Roman history, bringing to life Caesar's wars, armies, equipment, and methods. Brilliant in design and impressive in scope, Julius Caesar clarifies how the military, political, and monetary aspects of the Roman Republic worked together to produce a man whose name has drop to us as a synonym for absolute authority.
