A compelling new portrait of Marcus Brutus delves behind the
ancient evidence to set aside the myths that surround the ancient
world's most famous assassin Conspirator and assassin, philosopher
and statesman, promoter of peace and commander in war, Marcus
Brutus (ca. 85-42 BC) was a controversial and enigmatic man even to
those who knew him. His leading role in the murder of Julius Caesar
on the Ides of March, 44 BC, immortalized his name forever, but the
verdict on his act remains out to this day. Was Brutus wrong to
kill his friend and benefactor, or was he right to place his duty
to country ahead of personal obligations? In this comprehensive and
stimulating biography Kathryn Tempest delves into contemporary
sources to bring to light the personal and political struggles
Brutus faced. As the details are revealed-from his own
correspondence with Cicero, from the perceptions of his peers, and
from the Roman aristocratic values and concepts that held sway in
his time-Brutus emerges from legend, revealed to us more surely
than ever before.
