Premise: Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell is a 1998 book by the English writer Simon Heffer. It is a biography of the politician Enoch Powell. The title is taken from Powell's 1968 Rivers of Blood speech when Powell quoted Virgil's "Aeneid": "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood".
Hypothesis: Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell was written by Simon Heffer before he gave a speech.
