Plato of Athens: A Life in Philosophy

I want to learn more about Plato and had this book recommended to me.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. I learned about Plato's life, was introduced to each of his major dialogues, and saw how his ideas intersected with his life. I read this after reading a few of Plato's dialogues and look forward to returning to the dialogues with a better frame of reference. I highly recommend this book.
