A translation that captures the power of one of the greatest war
stories ever told-Julius Caesar's account of his brutal campaign to
conquer Gaul Imagine a book about an unnecessary war written by the
ruthless general of an occupying army-a vivid and dramatic
propaganda piece that forces the reader to identify with the
conquerors and that is designed, like the war itself, to fuel the
limitless political ambitions of the author. Could such a campaign
autobiography ever be a great work of literature-perhaps even one
of the greatest? It would be easy to think not, but such a book
exists-and it helped make Julius Caesar a legend. This remarkable
translation of Caesar's War for Gaul captures, like never before in
English, the powerfully concise style of the future emperor's
dispatches from the front lines in what are today France, Belgium,
Germany, and Switzerland.
