Caesar's Commentaries: On The Gallic War and On The Civil War by Julius Caesar
5.0
I have nothing to say about what particular version of the Gallic Wars I read. I’ve read several versions, and as none of them were in Latin, and I can make no comparison, I’ll just say they were all good.
This is a fascinating account, written first hand, of Caesars invasion of Gaul, of the people’s resistance, and the struggle to hold on to the conquest. If nothing else it makes you appreciate the ability to communicate long distances in modern combat. Its so excellently written, its so informative, you’ll be floored. I was completely in awe of Caesar the whole time. Absolutely a must for anyone interested in classical antiquity or the history of warfare.
