I picked through this book over several months. I wanted to ingest it slowly. There is of information to take and the more I read the more questions I thought to myself concerning the master minds of the assasination and the primary sources. I have bought a few primary sources along the way as I was reading. I will say that the author gave me a different perspective on the motives of the assasination that were not mentioned in classics courses.

I didn't know anything about Decimus Brutus, so all his involvement was new to me. The style is somehow less engaging than Strauss' previous books.

Listened to audio on the Ides of March, and it was fascinating. Made a tedious data-entry task much more pleasant. A different perspective on the story we all think we know.
