Rezension zu „Rubicon “
The book that really held me, in fact, obsessed me, was Rubicon ... This is narrative history at its best. Bloody and labyrinthine political intrigue and struggle, brilliant oratory, amazing feats of conquest and cruelty -- Ian McEwan Guardian A modern, well-paced and finely observed history which entertains as it informs Observer I owe a debt of gratitude to Tom Holland not just for reminding me of great figures who bestrode the Roman world - Pompey and Crassus, Cato, Cicero and Caesar - but for explaining what it was that made Rome the greatest superpower the world has known, why it lasted so long and what caused its eventual fall Daily Mail
