Annotated book in F. Scott Fitzgerald's College of One

[Colm Gillis · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well researched, but failed to deliver. A long book which spent too much time on what was peripheral to Caesar. The book is slightly hagiographical. While there is no issue with someone 'liking' Caesar, it can be fatal to a critical historical study.
