Krebs Wall Street Journal "'Caesar in the U.S.A.' exposes the complex legacy of ancient Rome to the American republic." -- Glen Bowersock Times Literary Supplement (TLS) "A clear narrative... Caesar's evolving image influenced US political culture in ways that Wyke illustrates... Highly recommended." -- R. I. Curtis, University of Georgia Choice "Elegantly written." -- Barbara Lawatsch Melton Journal of Roman Studies "This book... a tremendous achievement... deserves to be a full title in the history of modern reflection on the impressive and never exhausted phenomenon of 'Caesarism'". -- Luciano Canford Gnomon Bd.
