An energetic new translation of an ancient Roman masterpiece about
a failed coup led by a corrupt and charismatic politician In 63 BC,
frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman
Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected
government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he
fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder
its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the
unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that
led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions
in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a
brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these
events, Sallust's The War with Catiline-a brief, powerful book that
has influenced how generations of readers, including America's
founders, have thought about coups and political conspiracies. In a
taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust pleasurably combines juicy
details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly
quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the
widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get
unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was
sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome;
his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius
Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of
them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with
Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how
republics live and die, and featuring the original Latin on facing
pages, this volume makes Sallust's gripping history more accessible
than ever before.
