Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Julius Caesar's life, Adrian Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later.

The reader did OK, but could not quite decide how he wanted to pronounce the Latin words and names. At times he seemed to use "CHURCH" Latin and at other times he used 1st century bce pronunciations. It was distracting at times.
In general I liked the book and the performance.
