They formed the theme of that most readable of biographers, Suetonius. He had a lot to say about their sexual and other aberrations, and one of the purposes of the present book is to try to penetrate the fog of picturesque rumor and estimate how seriously the various stories can be regarded. But this is only one part of a general attempt to discover what sort of men these astonishing Caesars were. They bore the perilous responsibility of governing an empire comparable in its gigantic magnitude and diversity to the United States or the Soviet Union today. It is a matter of perennial concern to investigate how the potentates who wield such vast might, and the men who advise them, cope with their task, or fail to cope with it. To what extent, for example, are we justified, after a study of the scorching pages of Tacitus, in applying to the Roman Caesars Lord Acton's saying that absolute power corrupts absolutely ? This is one of a number of questions, relating to their exercise of authority, to which Michael Grant~calling in additional sources of information such as coins and inscriptions~ endeavors to answer.…

Churchill called the Eastern Front 'the unknown war' and there is still no Soviet official history of the army's role during the First World War. It was in the East, with Russia in turmoil, that many decisive engagements took place. Norman Stone believes that 'the outcome of the battles was dictated by factors that do not always figure in works of military history'. Using a wide range of sources from European and American research centers, he describes the battles of the Eastern Front. Tannenbarq, Austria~Hungary's entry into the war, the Russian retreat in the summer of 1915, the role of Ludendorff, the Brusilov offensive ~ all are carefully examined and substantially reinterpreted. Traditional accounts of the Russian war effort describe an army crippled by shortages of shells and war materials. Norman Stone's analysis shows that German economic superiority has been greatly overestimated. The Russians suffered from a shortage of organizational and administrative ability. Their economy suffered a crisis not of decline but of growth; as a result capitalism, as Western Europe knew it, was killed off in Russia in 1915~16, not in 1917~18. In his final chapter, the author reviews the connection between war and revolution in Tsarist Russia, and suggests new approaches to our understanding of this complex problem. Norman Stone never loses siqht of his greater themes and places the conflict in a larger context. He explains the mechanics of revolutionary development and the downfall of the Tsar and thereby throws new light on our interpretation of the war in the West. The book is carefully documented and there are maps of the campaign. As the author writes: 'the book travelled a long way from the battlefields where it began: it may even have become three different books. But total war needs total history, as far as can be managed.'.…
