Fascinating read. Cicero obviously is not only a very important historical figure but one who is immensely complex. Therefore, in order to successfully capture this reality one has to do a tremendous amount of research and this author obviously did that. I found it to be very engaging as well. Oftentimes books of this ilk that are historical biographies have a difficult time inputting the requisite narrative flow that keeps the audience engaged. This book did not have that trouble. Greatly enjoyed this.

I am an ardent fan of Cicero and this book is a worthy addition to my mainly fictional accounts of this amazing, clever man. Bujak writes with obvious affection for his subject and I found it a very easy read. Ciceros verbal battles with his enemies are legendary and his style of oration second to none. Anyone who is curious about the politics and intrigues of the Roman Empire will enjoy this book. Bujak injects life into ancient Rome and its primary and secondary characters. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to Pen & Sword for an excellent publication and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this excellent book.
