Review title: Straight Ahead Biography of Cicero
Product review: Cicero (The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician) is exactly what its author, Anthony Everitt, claims it to be in the sub-title. Cicero was an impressive figure living in an interesting time and it is important and necessary to have a biography such as this one come out to allow readers not steeped in classical studies, particularly Cicero's own writings, a chance to escape to this distant time which often has a resonance in our own difficult period. The author does a good job of hitting all the hot spots and smoothing out some of the political complexities for the general reader while still providing a feel for ancient Rome as Republicanism writhed toward its end.
