Whatever the event of the ancient history, Barry Strauss dedicates the book - be it 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? Let us recall what the commanders, sailors and emperors of antiquity in the stories that we read in childhood seemed to us. These were courageous warriors and charismatic bosses, one movement of their eyebrows was enough to lead tens of thousands of devoted soldiers. The author offers to carefully look at these great people of the past.
Why was Caesar killed? Of course, for political reasons. The conspirators wanted to give Rome democracy, while 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 testified.
About everything that the biography of a great man and the history of a partially successful conspiracy can teach a modern businessman - in the book of a wonderful American historian Barry Strauss
