The death of Caesar. Strauss B.

Whatever the event of the ancient history, Barry Strauss dedicates the book - whether it is Spartak’s uprising, the Trojan War, the formation of the Roman Empire - he, in essence, is looking for an answer to the same question: what leaders do we need today? So where to look for examples of successful leaders, if not in Greek and Roman antiquity? Famous commanders, sailors and emperors were charismatic bosses: they led tens of thousands of devoted people. The author offers to take a closer look at the great heroes of the past. What caused the tragic events of the March ID? The killers of Caesar wanted to give Rome democracy, and the dictator hoped to transfer the powers to his family, especially Octavian - to the future emperor Augustus. But after the reprisal, everything did not go according to plan and not at all as Shakespeare reported. The history of a partially successful conspiracy and its consequences can teach a modern businessman in the book of a wonderful American historian Barry Strauss.
