Cicero

This biography takes readers into the fascinating and scandal-filled world of ancient Rome during Cicero’s reign as Rome's most feared politician. Cicero was a wily political operator, the most eloquent and astute witness to the last days of Republican Rome. Even though he was often called incapable of making up his mind and wandered through the woods weeping, Cicero was also the most eloquent and astute witness to the last days of Republican Rome. He was a model to French and American revolutionaries who saw themselves as following in his footsteps in their resistance to tyranny, and was a legendary defender of freedom.
