4.0
A brief, but engaging, examination of the battle of Alesia and more generally the context and events leading up to it. The book is short - Goodreads reports 96 pages, though my copy was 142 pages - and so full of pictures the actual text is short and digestible and could easily be read in one sitting if the reader desired. I enjoyed the several maps that are included and used this to acquaint myself somewhat with the context before I begin Carolyn Hammond's translation of Caesar's Commentarii.
