Nigel Hamilton: American Caesars February 17, 2011

Modeled on one of the most famous histories of ancient Rome - 'The Twelve Caesars' - Nigel Hamilton's new book, 'American Caesars,' looks afresh at the lives and careers of the twelve leaders of the American empire since World War II, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush. Nigel Hamilton is one of Britain's most distinguished biographers: a recipient of the Whitbread Prize for Biography and the Templer Medal for Military History. His books include 'The Brothers Mann,' his official three-volume life of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, his two-volume biography of Bill Clinton and his best-selling 'JFK: Reckless Youth,' which was made into an ABC miniseries.
