Product Information
The dramatic story of Augustus, Rome's first emperor, who plunged into Rome's violent power struggles at the age of nineteen, proceeded to destroy all rivals, and more than anyone else created the Roman Empire "A fascinating study of political life in ancient Rome."--Nick Romeo, Christian Science Monitor Caesar Augustus' story, one of the most riveting in Western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. Thrusting himself into Rome's extremely violent politics while yet a very young man, Augustus skillfully maneuvered his way through twisting alliances during years of civil war. Named heir to the murdered Julius Caesar, he outwitted and outlasted far more experienced rivals like Antony and Brutus. Ruling supreme, he reinvented himself as a benevolent man of peace and created a new system of government. In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus' long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus' rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence Western history.

Reviews
"Impressive. . . Mr. Goldsworthy. . . moves nimbly around other important evidence about Augustus' life. . . The resulting life is, in one sense, deeply unified. This is a welcome corrective to traditional presentations."--Brendan Boyle, The Wall Street Journal, "Goldsworthy's true expertise is as a military historian, and this is what really gives his biography its strength and bite: his depiction of Augustus's relationship with his legions is masterly."--Robert Harris, London Sunday Times, "Impressive . . . Mr. Goldsworthy . . . moves nimbly around other important evidence about Augustus' life . . . The resulting life is, in one sense, deeply unified. This is a welcome corrective to traditional presentations."--Brendan Boyle, The Wall Street Journal, "The dramatic rise and long rule of Caesar Augustus is the subject of Adrian Goldsworthy's substantial new biography, Augustus: First Emperor of Rome . The book is a fascinating study of political life in ancient Rome, and the parallels with our own political system are numerous and interesting. But the discontinuities between America and the Roman Empire are just as revealing." -- Nick Romeo, Christian Science Monitor, "Superb. . . . Augustus is a first-rate popular biography by a skilled and knowing hand, a fine companion to Goldsworthy's Caesar. "--Steve Donoghue, Washington Post, "Goldsworthy's prodigious biography of this first and greatest Roman emperor is thorough and well-researched. . . . Goldsworthy is a superb historian and talented writer, . . . [and Augustus ] will likely join the pantheon of biographies of a truly great Roman leader. . . . Goldsworthy reminds readers . . . that human nature does not change. Augustus cultivated what passed for the Roman media as assiduously as any American politician today woos Fox News or CNN. One gets the impression that Augustus would have adapted well to 21st-century politics while still ruling wisely."--Gary Anderson, Washington Times, "The dramatic rise and long rule of Caesar Augustus is the subject of Adrian Goldsworthy's substantial new biography, Augustus: First Emperor of Rome . The book is a fascinating study of political life in ancient Rome, and the parallels with our own political system are numerous and interesting. But the discontinuities between America and the Roman Empire are just as revealing ."-- Nick Romeo, Christian Science Monitor, "Goldsworthy peers like a master jeweler into the strange cold diamond at the heart of Roman history--the emperor Augustus--and reveals the whole Roman world reflected in its facets. But the book itself is warm with human sympathy, elegant writing, and the sheer joy and love of history it evokes in its reader."--J. E. Lendon, author of Soldiers and Ghosts: A History of Battle in Classical Antiquity and Song of Wrath: The Peloponnesian War Begins "Goldsworthy has produced an elegantly written and well-argued biography of Augustus that pulls no punches. Sifting through the literature of the Augustan Age, he brings together the ancient evidence with the best of modern scholarship, producing a meticulously researched, but highly readable, volume on Rome's first emperor. The result is a study on the nature of leadership, the wielding of power, and the price to be paid by both."--Col. Rose Mary Sheldon, Virginia Military Institute "For all his importance, Augustus is often an enigma behind a classical faade. Goldsworthy's Augustus reveals all the drama and detail surrounding Rome's first emperor. Brimming with energy, scholarship, and wisdom, it is a history book to savor."--Barry Strauss, author of Masters of Command: Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and the Genius of Leadership "Augustus splendidly completes the trilogy that started with Caesar and continued with Antony and Cleopatra. It is the best extended treatment in English of Augustus' career and his many contradictions."--Karl Galinsky, University of Texas at Austin
