The Gallic Wars were a series of military campaigns waged by the
Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. They
lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of
Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the
expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul. The wars
paved the way for Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the
Roman Republic. The Gallic Wars are described by Julius Caesar
himself in this book, which was originally titled Commentarii de
Bello Gallico. It is a pertinent and only slightly tendentious, and
altogether the most important historical source regarding the
conflict. This updated edition contains the translated text along
with introductions by Bob Carruthers and Thomas de Quincey.
