A dual biography of Julius Caesar and Cato the Younger that offers
a dire warning: republics collapse when personal pride overrides
the common good. In Uncommon Wrath, historian Josiah Osgood tells
the story of how the political rivalry between Julius Caesar and
Marcus Cato precipitated the end of the Roman Republic. As the
champions of two dominant but distinct visions for Rome, Caesar and
Cato each represented qualities that had made the Republic strong,
but their ideological differences entrenched into enmity and mutual
fear. The intensity of their collective factions became a tribal
divide, hampering their ability to make good decisions and
undermining democratic government. The men’s toxic polarity meant
that despite their shared devotion to the Republic, they pushed it
into civil war. Deeply researched and compellingly told, Uncommon
Wrath is a groundbreaking biography of two men whose hatred for
each other destroyed the world they loved.
