Julius Caesar

I must say that I was presently surprised when I recently found this little gem. I've read a great deal about Julius Caesar, including some pretty scholarly stuff, but I've never read a better short summary of the man's life and exploits. In a very small amount of space the author provides a large amount of detail and includes numerous quotes by ancient writers, including Caesar himself,a feature usually not seen in children's books about history. The writing is so good it realy makes the title character come to life. Good job.
