The most powerful army of the most powerful nation of the time is engaged in a long-running war against a less sophisticated enemy who continue to ambush them in their bases. The stories of Caesar’s wars in Gaul are a story of power, influence and redemption. Written over 2,000 years they provide a small window on the ancient world and warfare. This edition of the Gallic Wars is annotated and illustrated edition of Caesar’s history of the conquest of Gaul and Britain. Based on Edward Books translation of Caesar, but edited to make the language cleaner, crisper and easy to follow. The annotations, appendixes and illustrations will bring the focus of this work back onto what it originally was – a military history of Caesar’s campaign at the edge of the Republic that was Rome.
