In commenting upon the transformation of the Roman Republic into a great and glorious empire, John Buchan wrote: 'This book is an attempt to understand a little part of the mind of a great man ... Augustus, while he had able colleagues and one of his gifts was his power to choose collaborators he was always the master designer and the chief executant. Buchan's study of Augustus, great nephew of Julius Caesar, is a descriptive and detailed biography. The author's admiration for his subject's creative mind and policies shine through this major historical account."
