About this product

Product Information

Most historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility. In The Assassination of Julius Caesar , Michael Parenti presents us with a story of popular resistance against entrenched power and wealth. As he carefully weighs the evidence concerning the murder of Caesar, Parenti sketches in the background to the crime with fascinating detail about wider Roman society. In these pages we find reflections on the democratic struggle waged by Roman commoners, religious augury as an instrument of social control, the patriarchal oppression of women, and the political use of homophobic attacks. The Assassination of Julius Caesar offers a whole new perspective on an era we thought we knew well.

  • Must read for history buffs!

    Here is a rare look at Julius Caesar and his times. Unlike the standard story that he was a dictator and was killed to save the republic, this book tells the truth about his murder, namely that he was killed by the rich for providing even the least bit of relief for the common man. Any student of history owes it to themselves to get a look at some very seldom heard truth. The only downside is that my particular copy was bought new and is falling apart already. Ironic that a tale of history which has stayed relevant for 2000 years can't hold up to being read even once. Shame on the publisher for doing such a crappy job in binding it!
