Title: Scope! Precision! Excellence!
Product review: Fortune's Favorites follows some of the great Roman personalities on their respective rises to greatness: Ceasar, Pompey and Crassus, the members of the First Triumvirate (as history calls them). Unfortunately I took a long break in the middle of this book because other reading came up but it stands just as consistent and well-researched as the rest of the First Man in Rome series has been. McCullough gives a great telling of Spartacus and the ineptitude of numerous consuls as well as continuing to develop Caesar as the fully-rounded man he was. Just buy the books, keep reading them, and even for well-educated students of Classics, McCullough always has something more to offer. Beautifully done.
