Julius Caesar
About this listen
One of the most daring and brilliant generals of all time, Julius Caesar combined the elements of tactical genius with the shrewdness of a master politician. He was an astute judge of men's character - their strengths and weaknesses. Whenever possible, he exercised restraint and mercy even when his worst enemies were in his power. But he also knew when and how to mete out stern punishment and his swift retaliations became a hallmark of his career. With his charismatic leadership, his powerful intellect and his magnetic personal charm, Julius Caesar became the idol of men and women everywhere. The fanatic loyalty of his troops and the adulation of the Roman public propelled him to the pinnacle of power. Historian Will Durant called him "the most complete man that antiquity produced."
Follow along in this recording as Julius Caesar in 50 B.C. undertakes the awesome enterprise of subduing savage Gaul, an area roughly the size of Texas. That task was barely completed before his enemies in Rome struck, igniting the bloody Civil War that engulfed most of the Roman Empire and afterward left Caesar in supreme power.

Must read for Roman history buffs
Terrifically detailed narrative of the campaigns of one of history's most influential generals and civic leaders. Biased and highly self-promoting, but well worth a read. Wow!

Passionnant
Le titre de l’œuvre ne laisse pas entrevoir la profondeur du contenu.
Il s’agit d’une œuvre unique d’un des plus grands généraux de l’histoire.
Ce livre est un véritable roman de l’époque glorieuse de la conquête de l’Europe occidentale par Jules César.
Il nous fait aussi découvrir l’homme, le chef adulé par ces troupes, le militaire courageux qui n’hésite pas à se mettre en première ligne de la bataille.
Il nous montre aussi le génie politique qui sait manier la force des mots, le respect de l’adversaire.
Un livre à écouter absolument.

Well read and Translated nicely
Was well put together from the source material, easy to follow for those just beginning to look into history and still interesting for those that are familiar with the source. Great narrator.
