Book Description:
Julian the Apostate was the nephew of Emperor Constantine the Great. Julian ascended to the throne in A.D. 361, at the age of twenty-nine, and was murdered four years later after an unsuccessful attempt to rebuke Christianity and restore the worship of the old gods. Now this historical tapestry is brought to vibrant life by the dazzling talent of Gore Vidal.

Absorbing and quite provocative--a good read.

The best of Gore Vidal. A revisionist histiry of the Roman Emperor and an irrestible read.
