Neredeyse ülkemizde herkes Jül Sezar’ın Brutus tarafından öldürüldüğünü bilir. Okul tarih kitaplarımızda çokça anlatılan ve herkesin bir şekilde aklında kalan budur. Ama neden Jül Sezar öldürülmüştür? Üvey oğlu olduğu iddia edilen Brutus onu neden öldürmüştür. Gücünün doruğundaki Galya Fatihi general bu kadar korumasız mıdır? İşte bu kitap yazarın olağanüstü araştırması ve sergilediği ilginç detaylarla bu 2000 yıl öncesinin cinayetini ayrıntılarıyla ortaya koyuyor. Sezar’ın ölümünden sonra olaya karışanların trajik sonları da kitapta anlatılıyor. Yazar, katl olayını “itinayla planlanmış, paramiliter bir operasyon olarak değerlendirmekte, cumhuriyetten krallığa geçirilerek devlet düzeninin ve siyaset taşlarının yerinden oynaması” olarak değerlendiriyor. Kitapta pek çok kişi profili var. Marcus Antonius’tan Ausgustus’a, faillerden Brutus, Decimus ve Cassius gibi şahısları yakından tanıyacaksınız.
