The Gallic campaigns firmly established Julius Caesar (100 B.C.-44
B.C.) as one of the greatest commanders of all time. After success
there, Caesar turned his loyal army back toward Rome. Crossing the
Rubicon, he initiated a civil war, marched triumphally to the
capital, besieged Pompey at Brundisium, and pacified Spain. With a
tiny army he routed Pompey's far larger forces at Pharsalus,
pursued him to his death in Egypt, and established Cleopatra on her
throne.Though Caesar's Commentaries are among the most exact and
picturesque of historical writings, it is only through knowledge of
the geography and weaponry of his campaigns that one can properly
understand them. In this history, T. A. Dodge, one of the only
military historians to have visited every one of the great
general's known battlefields, makes full use of other chroniclers
and critics and supplements them with his clear, insightful
descriptions of the battles. As a fully illustrated and complete
military history of one of history's greatest generals, Caesar is
unparalleled.
