Summary: Important novel
Review: This is a great book. Caesar description the traps that were put on the field at Alesia by the Romans and the stakes put in the Thames and near the Thames shows that landmines and seamines are no new concept. In this book Caesar writes a great account of his first beach landing in Britain. You can learn a lot from this book.

Summary: Conquest of Gaul
Review: This translation chronicles Caesar's military adventures in Gaul (modern France), Germany and Britain. As in any autobiography, you have to keep a skeptical eye on the events related. All autobiographers try to justify their actions and paint themselves in noble colors.Caesar was not the historian (nor writer) that Tacitus was, but as a participant in these events, he provides invaluable on-the-ground observations. His book makes one thing clear. Ancient Gauls, Germans and Britons succumbed to splinters in their own tribal factions as much as to the might of Roman legions. Caesar spent as much time mollifying tribes and building alliances as he did conducting military campaigns. Caesar's prose is workmanlike, if not quite elegant. A longer introduction that included more general information about ancient Rome would have been helpful for the nonspecialist.
