History of Julius Caesar (Vol. 1&2) - Napoleon III Emperor of the French

The History of Julius Caesar was written by Napoleon III, the nephew of Napoleon Buonaparte at the time of his reign. The book starts from the description of the Roman history before Caesar, the establishment of the republic, and Punic wars and gradually flows into the main points of Caesar's life up to his death. Besides historical context, a book was a political pamphlet to support the author's political line. In the book, Napoleon III compares himself and his uncle with Julius Caesar, proving that the political and strategic talent of the great emperor of Rome found continuation in the style of the ruling of the Buonaparte family.
