Caesar by Christian Meier (nonfiction)

Many have said that this book is one of the best about Caesar, and I have to agree.  Found it gripping and thorough, with psychological insights that rang true.  Other books I've read about Caesar tried to give a personality profile and came off corny, but Meier is very careful.  Even though I have been studying this period for 25 years, I didn't find that the author's setting of the tone of the times got in the way.  Instead, it deepened my understanding.
