Rome's Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato, Mortal Enemy of Caesar

More about the book

Cato grappled with home-grown terrorists, a public and private debt crisis, a yawning gap between rich and poor, and a fractious ruling class whose lives took on the dimensions of soap opera. He relentlessly opposed the rise of Julius Caesar, but his stubbornness led to the eventual fall of the Roman Republic. This book tells his story.
