The story itself is one of the best I've ever read!

I've read "Ein Kampf Um Rom"/ "A Struggle for Rome' and it Dutch version "Een Strijd Om Rome" (three books) ever since I was 9 years old (!!) and the story itself is absolutely wonderful. Definitely, more people need to read it. I DO wish someone would translate it in English --and, better yet, make a complete unabridged movie out of it. [ I myself am a translator, and would love to translate the book! :-)]. "A Struggle for Rome" introduces us to a great number of very interesting characters: Witichis the honest and brave king; Totila, whom everyone loved; Teja the somber warrior; Mataswintha, a princess who, when disappointed in love, destroyed the man she loved; Amalaswintha, who tried to save her people but failed; Narses the genius, who was even a better general than Belisarius was; Justinianus the ambitious. My favorite character is, and always has been, Cethegus, The Last Roman. Of course! With all his good and all his bad points, Cethegus was, and is, outstanding! I do wish we had people like him in my country now! Greetings from Indonesia!
