Julius Caesar: Great Dictator of Rome

I bought this book for my 15 year old son, who has been learning about julius caeser in history class and is impressed by his strategic and logistic mind. He liked the book very much, says it was informative and very interesting . He has recommended it.

Julius Caesar is one of the great characters of world history and his life has fascinated people for two thousand years. This is a typical DK book. Great on the graphics and a lot weaker on the substance. All of the highlights of Caesar's interesting life are touched upon in a cursory way. Do not purchase this book if you are intersted in a serious biography. However, what this book really has going for it are the wonderful illustrations. These are the types of fantastically complex illustrations that can grab a child's imagination and help him develop an interest in ancient history.
