Cato’s life is a gripping tale rich with resonances for our own turbulent politics.<br />
Cato grappled with homegrown terrorists, a public and private debt crisis, a<br />
yawning gap between rich and poor, and a fractious ruling class whose lives took<br />
on the dimensions of soap opera.<br />
This is the story of this uncompromising man’s formation in a time of crisis<br />
and his lifelong battle to save the Republic.<br />
