Förlagets beskrivning
}The Gallic campaigns firmly established Julius Caesar (100 B.C.44 B.C.) as
one of the greatest commanders of all time. After success there, Caesar turned
his loyal army back toward Rome. Crossing the Rubicon, he initiated a civil
war, marched triumphally to the capital, besieged Pompey at Brundisium, and
pacified Spain. With a tiny army he routed Pompey's far larger forces at
Pharsalus, pursued him to his death in Egypt, and established Cleopatra on her
throne.Though Caesar's Commentaries are among the most exact and picturesque of
historical writings, it is only through knowledge of the geography and weaponry
of his campaigns that one can properly understand them. In this history, T. A.
Dodge, one of the only military historians to have visited every one of the
great general's known battlefields, makes full use of other chroniclers and
critics and supplements them with his clear, insightful descriptions of the
battles. As a fully illustrated and complete military history of one of
history's greatest generals, Caesar is unparalleled. } The author of this fully illustrated and complete military history of
Caesar's battles, has visited every one of the general's known battlefields,
and making full use of other chroniclers and critics, he supplements them with
his clear, insightful descriptions of the battles.
