No reference at all to the influence Casear had on later times, the tape ends abruptly with his assassination. Good discussion of the first triumvarate, Caesar's various postings and his interaction with Cato and Cicero. All his genius and ability to get things done.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0788703145, Audio Cassette)Gaius Julius Caesar has been described as the greatest man of action who has ever walked this earth, even as the entire and perfect man. Using a broad spectrum of sources, from the Greek and Latin histories to modern international biographies, historian Michael Grant reconstructs the career of Julius Caesar from his youthful priesthood through his campaigns in Europe and Africa, and to the base of Pompeys statue. Roman politics come to life for the listener as Grant unravels the tightly woven web of political betrayal and skullduggery that brought the young ambitious nobleman to the very pinnacle of greatness.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:56 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
