"Julius Caesar" by Don Nardo

در صفحه‌ی اطلاعات کتاب ذکر شده که برای نوجوانان است، اما محتوای کتاب چنین نیست که صرفاً برای نوجوانان یا جوانان باشد. کتاب به طرز مناسبی خلاصه‌ای از وقایع زندگی جولیوس سزار ارائه کرده است و در جای خود به طور مناسب نشان داده است که چرا سزار علی‌رغم خدماتی که به روم کرد، به علت تخطی از فرمان سنا مبنی بر انحلال ارتش خود و بازگشت به روم، دشمن و خائن به جمهوری محسوب می‌شد. در حقیقت حرکت ناپلئون که پس از بازگشت از مصر به سنا رفت و جمهوری فرانسه را تدریجاً به فراموشی سپرد، مشابه حرکت سزار پس از عبور از رودخانه‌ی روبیکون بود. هر دو، دشمنان قدرت‌طلب جمهوری محسوب می‌شدند که به خاطر جاه‌طلبی خود، آزادی را خاک کردند و دیکتاتوری را جایش نشاندند. حال برخی ممکن است بگویند که میراث سزار و ناپلئون برای روم و فرانسه، افتخار بود. اما به هر صورت، جهانگیری آن دو آزادی را برای مدت‌ها به عقب راند.
