58 reviews Julius Caesar A little over 2000 years ago a man named Julius Caesar changed the world.

This book will captivate listeners discovering Caesar and ancient Rome for the first time as well as those who have a deep interest in the classical world. Julius Caesar: A Life From Beginning to End (One Hour History Military Generals Book 4) by Henry Freeman 3.94 In this splendid biography, Freeman presents Julius Caesar in all his dimensions and contradictions. Eventually he was murdered in one of the most famous assassinations in history. He was a spokesman for the ordinary people of Rome, who rallied around him time and again, but he profited enormously from his conquests and lived opulently. He made alliances with his rivals and then discarded them when it suited him. Born into a noble family that had long been in decline, he advanced his career cunningly, beginning as a priest and eventually becoming Rome's leading general. He possessed great courage, ambition, honor, and vanity. Julius Caesar was a complex man, both hero and villain. Phillip Freeman provides numerous examples of how Caesar, in the fashion of the Great Alexander, and as a future Napoleon would imitate in the same manner but without the same success, confirmed defeated leaders in their original positions upon. But, as Philip Freeman describes in this fascinating new biography, Caesar was also a brilliant orator, an accomplished writer, a skilled politician, and much more. An oath is a statement validated by superhuman power, Caesar, later the divine Julius, in this case. He is best known as the general who defeated the Gauls and doubled the size of Rome's territories. He shaped Rome for generations, and his name became a synonym for 'emperor'-not only in Rome but as far away as Germany and Russia. More than two thousand years after his death, Julius Caesar remains one of the great figures of history.
