Rubicon: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic
Rubicon: The Triumph And
Tragedy Of The Roman Republic
    The Roman Republic was
    the most remarkable state
    in history. What began as
    a small community of
    peasants camped among
    marshes and hills ended
    up ruling the known
    world. Rubicon paints a
    vivid portrait of the
    Republic at the climax of
    its greatness - the same
    greatness which would
    herald the catastrophe of
    its fall. It is a story
    of incomparable drama.
    This was the century of
    Julius Caesar, the
    gambler whose addiction
    to glory led him to the
    banks of the Rubicon,
    and beyond; of Cicero,
    whose defence of freedom
    would make him a byword
    for eloquence; of
    Spartacus, the slave who
    dared to challenge a
    superpower; of Cleopatra,
    the queen who did the
    same. Tom Holland brings
    to life this strange and
    unsettling civilization,
    with its extremes of
    ambition and
    self-sacrifice,
    bloodshed and desire. Yet
    alien as it was, the
    Republic still holds up a
    mirror to us. Its
    citizens were obsessed by
    celebrity chefs,
    all-night dancing and
    exotic pets; they fought
    elections in law courts
    and were addicted to
    spin; they toppled
    foreign tyrants in the
    name of self-defence. Two
    thousand years may have
    passed, but we remain
    the Romans' heirs.

A Classical Primer
A Classical Primer
    Didn?t take classics at
    school? Or maybe you've
    forgotten most of what
    you once knew? In which
    case, look no further
    than this small but
    authoritative book.
    Classics is the study of
    the culture of the
    ancient Greeks and
    Romans, and takes in all
    aspects of their life and
    learning, from the
    languages to the
    literature, philosophy,
    art and much more. A
    Classic Primer looks back
    at these civilizations;
    how they lived, and how
    many aspects of our daily
    lives have been directly
    influenced by theirs,
    from roads and concrete,
    to central heating, the
    twelve-month calendar,
    cranes and even pizza!
    Informative and
    enjoyable, this book
    shows that even a basic
    knowledge of Classics is
    not only essential, but
    incredibly fascinating.

Napoleon
Napoleon
    Written with great wit
    and panache, this
    biography also has a
    serious purpose: to make
    us face up to the moral
    bankruptcy of
    Napoleons
    dictatorship. Johnson
    tells the whole story:
    his astonishing gift for
    figures and calculation,
    his mastery of cannon;
    his audacious,
    hyperactive and
    aggressive generalship
    and his simple battle
    tactics; his complete
    control of propaganda and
    the success of the
    cultural presentation of
    the Empire; the Code
    Napoleon; his failure as
    an international
    statesman, as Europe
    grew to hate him; his
    marshals and ministers;
    his wives, mistresses,
    personal style and
    working methods; the
    British blockade and the
    Continental System; the
    mistakes in Spain and
    Russia. The escape from
    Elba, the events leading
    up to Waterloo and the
    battle itself, which
    gets a full treatment,
    is particularly riveting.
