Book Title: Betrayal of a Republic: Memoirs of a Roman Matrona
Book Description: Betrayal of a Republic recounts the demise of the Roman Republic as seen through the eyes and reflections of Cornelia Africana, mother of the Gracchi brothers and a woman at the zenith of power and influence in the Republic.
In her final years, an aging Cornelia looks back on her life and that of her sons who tried to save the Republic. The story is even more compelling for the parallels it offers with current superpower politics, the rise of strongmen, financial scandals, the shrinking of the middle class, and questions about the future of our democracy.
