Summary from card sleeve, taken from Publisher's note:
"More than a brilliant military chieftain, more than a colossal soldier and statesman, Julius Caesar was a complex man. In this . . . book, John Gunther clearly shows us the riddle that was Caesar and re-creates the events, the times, and the forces that shaped the life of the man who came, who saw--and who conquered!"
