"Though Meier's account of Caesar's life lacks learned apparatus --- footnotes, sources, discussion of academic problems --- it is still a work of superb scholarship. Master of all the evidence, Meier also feels for his hero perhaps more passionately than anyone else, and wants to know what drove Caesar to act as he did, and where the historical sources are silent or ambiguous, Meier does not hesitate to construct a psycholgy of this fascinating man, an almost poetic, at times romantic, account of Caesar's very thought processes." Lacking Slipcase, cover forecorner tips slightly turned, else, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia.
