Caesar: A Novel by McCullough, Colleen - 1997

New York: William Morrow, 1997. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 2nd printing. Some tiny spots on top edge. 1997 Hard Cover. At a time that preceded the technology of any firearm, when military acumen, strategy, and leadership were all, it was Caesar's genius that prevailed, over and over. What Caesar accomplished in Gaul is the stuff of historical epic, of military academies, and of this novel. He was utterly awesome. Yet history forgets that Caesar was also a man, not immune to the human condition. He succeeded brilliantly, but he also suffered great personal grief and disappointment. It is the full portrait of Caesar, a man destined to inspire an empire, that Colleen McCullough paints here--faithfully, magnificently, and in radiant light.
