Captive Society

As Adrian Goldsworthy writes in the introduction to this book, “in his fifty-six years, Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as well as husband, father, lover and adulterer.” In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C…

Director Justin Hardy talks about his two-part drama-documentary re-enacting the three great battles of 1066.
Justin Hardy doesn’t have much truck with what he calls “the David Starkey notion” that the most interesting people in English history are our monarchs. “In my view,” he says, “the story of our island’s past is to do with much more common heroes and heroines, accompanied by a few kings and queens who sat on the throne and who were probably very unaware of what was going on around them.”

Adapted by Rod Serling from the best-selling novel by Fletcher Knebel and Charles Waldo Bailey II, Seven Days in May was allegedly inspired by the far-right ramblings of one General Edwin Walker. Burt Lancaster plays General James M. Scott, who, convinced that liberal President Jordan Lyman is soft on America's enemies, plots a military takeover of the United States. Every effort made by President Lyman to find concrete evidence of General Scott's scheme is scuttled by political protocol, human error and accidental death.
