THE IDES Caesars Murder and the War for Rome

Julius Caesar’s brief reign and murder continue to fascinate us today. This historical audiobook reads like a novel as it recounts the events leading up to Caesar’s death and its aftermath—and it corrects some popular myths along the way. The book also provides character sketches of the people involved and gives us some background about how Roman government and society worked in the first century BC. Narrator Bronson Pinchot’s lively, animated voice makes the story exciting and meaningful. His energetic reading conveys enthusiasm for the material, and he’s a wonderful complement to the author’s vibrant writing. Pinchot’s clear voice and clean pronunciations enable us to follow the action and its import. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2011]
