The only way to return to Rome is to pledge his support to a charismatic and dangerous enemy: Julius Caesar. Harnessing his political cunning, unrivalled intellect, and the sheer brilliance of his words, Cicero fights his way back to prominence. Yet no public figure is completely safeguarded against the unscrupulous ambition of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Riveting and tumultuous, Dictator encompasses the most epic events in ancient history, including the collapse of the Roman Republic, the murder of Pompey, and the assassination of Caesar. But its central question is a timeless one: how to keep political freedom unsullied by personal gain, vested interests, and the corrosive effects of ceaseless foreign wars. In Robert Harris's indelible portrait, Cicero is a deeply fascinating hero for his own time and for ours.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBERT HARRIS \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of nine best-selling novels: \u003ci\u003eFatherland, Enigma, Archangel, Pompeii, Imperium, The Ghost Writer, Conspirata, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Fear Index, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAn Officer and a Spy\u003c\/i\u003e.
