How to Stop a Conspiracy: An Ancient Guide to Saving a Republic

In a new translation of the story of the Roman aristocrat who tried to overthrow Rome, Josiah Osgood streamlines the story, The War with Catiline. His introduction will shed light on how these events and specifically Sallust's original account of it have influenced politicians on the hazards of living in an empire, namely the fact that there are inevitable threats of takeover or downfall that don't always come from lower social classes. Drawing on themes of charisma and power, conspiracy, collusion, and political factions, this is the story of when one man tried to burn Rome.

Like other books in the Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers Series, the original Latin text is shown on facing pages.
