"Cleopatra" by Claud Ferval et al. aimed to look at the near-mythological historical figure of Cleopatra. Though it is a short text for a topic that has intrigued historians and lay-people alike for centuries, the book manages to give a succinct yet thorough and easy-to-understand overview of Cleopatra, the historical figures that surrounded her such as Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, as well as her reign in power and, ultimately, her demise.
