Caesar portrayed his invasion of Gaul as being a defensive
pre-emptive action, most historians agree that the wars were fought
primarily to boost Caesar's political career and to pay off his
massive debts. Even so, Gaul was extremely important to Rome, as
they had been attacked many times by the Gauls. Conquering Gaul
allowed Rome to secure the natural border of the river Rhine.
Caesar painstakingly describes his military campaign, and this is
it is still the most important historical source on the Gaul
campaign. It is also a masterwork of political propaganda, as
Caesar was keenly interested in manipulating his readers in Rome as
he published this book just as the Roman Civil war began. W. A.
Macdevitt's translations brings this land mark historic book alive.
