Julius Caesar: military tribune, praetor, consul, proconsul, dictator, god; it is a name that everyone knows, but it is a name enveloped by shadows.

Though of aristocratic stock, he was happiest with his legionaries, and contemptuous of the 'people' despite leading the popular party: his ambition would destroy their world. Nonetheless, Caesar a master of the spoken and written word, and his successes in Gaul secured him the money and power he needed to achieve his political ambitions in Rome.

A great general, strategist and tactician on the battlefields of war, he could prove a charming and entertaining companion on the battlefields of society. Everything he had undertaken had been provoked by his overriding desire, but upon his murder in 44BC, one title eluded Caesar: 'king'.

His luck had, eventually, run out.

Bradford's supreme biography shows Caesar as he really was, not the popularised mythical figure, but as a ruthless politician, one of the most ambitious men ever to live, who was solely dedicated to the pursuit of power.

Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden's Emperor series who wish to delve deeper into the life of Julius Caesar and his Pursuit of Power.

Ernle Bradford (1922-1986) was a British historian noted for his specialisation in the Mediterranean World and naval subjects. His works include numerous biographies of military figures and books about the ancient and medieval worlds.
