Reviews for History Of Julius Caesar

[la2bkk · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Despite its age (written in the late 1800s) this short biography reads well enough. The book provides a generally accurate view of Caesar's life and times- no easy task given the enormity of his accomplishments. While certain sections lacked sufficient substance (e.g., the Gallic Wars), other topics were treated well, including backgrounds on Marius and Sulla, and Caesar's ultimate rival Pompey.Recommended read, particularly for the novice with only limited knowledge of Caesar.
