The Last Generation of the Roman Republic by Erich S. Gruen
This massive, articulate work has stood the test of time, and, if not indispensable it is still highly regarded and a standard guide to the period.

Gruen's argument is that the Republic was not in decay, and so not necessarily in need of "rescue" by Caesar Augustus and the institutions of the Empire. The Last Generation of the Roman Republic, a work often cited as a response to Ronald Syme's, The Roman Revolution.
