Since the Renaissance, Julius Caesar has been idolized as a superman. There is no
doubt that Caesar was an extraordinary man. But as General Fuller points out, Caesar was more
extraordinary for his reckless ambition, matchless daring, and ruthless tyranny than for his skills as
a military commander. Caesar continually had to extricate himself from the results of mistaken
judgments. His unpremeditated Gallic conquest was just one of Fuller's many examples.

In telling Caesar's history, Fuller illuminates a century of Roman history as well, bringing to life Caesar's
wars, his armies, his equipment, and his methods. Brilliant in design and impressive in scope,
Julius Caesar clarifies how the military, political, and economic aspects of the Roman Republic
worked together to produce a man whose name has come down to us as a synonym for absolute
authority.
