About This Item
Harmondsworth: Penguin Books; Penguin Classics Series, 1982. 262 pages, maps; 20 cm. Translation of De bello Gallico. Revised with a new introduction by Jane F. Gardner. Tight, clean copy. "Between 58 and 50 BC Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and twice invaded Britain. This is the record of his campaigns. Caesar's narrative offers insights into his military strategy & paints a fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitant of Gaul and Britain, as well as offering lively portraits of a number of key characters such as the rebel leaders and Gallic chieftains. This can also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing that he faces civil war on his return to Rome." - Publisher.. 2nd. Paperback. Fine. 8vo.
