Title: Fair and generally balanced
Review: Very readable treatment of Julian, a.k.a. "The Apostate." Murdoch shows Julian to have been generally incorruptible, effective, inspiring, good leader. He was philosophically committed to a rule of law. I thought Murdoch downplayed a bit his inconsistency, immaturity and intolerance toward Christians. But his poor military decision in the way he waged war in Persia is clear.
