Rome's Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato, Mortal Enemy of Caesar by Rob

Description: Rome's Last Citizen by Rob Goodman, Jimmy Soni Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Cato grappled with home-grown terrorists, a public and private debt crisis, a yawning gap between rich and poor, and a fractious ruling class whose lives took on the dimensions of soap opera. He relentlessly opposed the rise of Julius Caesar, but his stubbornness led to the eventual fall of the Roman Republic. This book tells his story. Publisher Description Marcus Porcius Cato: aristocrat who walked barefoot and slept on the ground with his troops, political heavyweight who cultivated the image of a Stoic philosopher, a hardnosed defender of tradition who presented himself as a man out of the sacred Roman past - and the last man standing when Romes Republic fell to tyranny. His blood feud with Caesar began in the chamber of the Senate, played out on the battlefields of a world war, and ended when he took his own life rather than live under a dictator. Centuries of thinkers, writers, and artists have drawn inspiration from Catos Stoic courage. Saint Augustine and the early Christians were moved and challenged by his example. Dante, in his Divine Comedy, chose Cato to preside over the souls who arrive in Purgatory. George Washington so revered him that he staged a play on Catos life to revive the spirit of his troops at Valley Forge. Now, in Romes Last Citizen, Rob Goodman and Jimmy Soni deliver the first modern biography of this stirring figure. Catos life is a gripping tale that resonates deeply with our own turbulent times. He grappled with terrorists, a debt crisis, endemic political corruption, and a huge gulf between the elites and those they governed. In many ways, Cato was the ultimate man of principle. But Cato was also a political failure: his stubbornness sealed his and Romes defeat, and his lonely end casts a shadow on the recurring hope that a singular leader can transcend the dirty business of politics. Author Biography Rob Goodman has worked as the speechwriter for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Senator Chris Dodd. He has written speeches and opinion pieces that have appeared on the floors of both houses of Congress, on national television and radio, and in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Jimmy Soni is the managing editor of The Huffington Post and a former speechwriter, whose writing and commentary have appeared in The Atlantic online and on NPR, among other outlets.
