Volume I. Gallic War
Caesar left wonderfully detailed accounts of his strategies
and campaigns. The eight books collected as The Gallic
War, reporting on his conquests of Gaul and two
invasions of Britain, form an extraordinary source for
military history and a masterful narrative. Edwards includes
a descriptive appendix on the Roman army.

Volume II. Civil Wars
The history of the Roman Republic for the years 49-48
B.C. centers on two striking
personalities: Julius Caesar and Pompey. Caesar's account of
the war between them, from its outbreak to the decisive
battle of Pharsalus in 48--in lucid and spare prose--is here
well translated by Peskett.

Volume III. Alexandrian, African and Spanish Wars
In this volume are three works concerning the campaigns
engaged in by Julius Caesar, but not written by him. The
Alexandrian War may have been written by Aulus Hirtius,
a friend and military subordinate of Caesar, who is
generally regarded as the author of the last book of
Caesar's Gallic War. The African War and
The Spanish War are detailed accounts clearly by
officers who had shared in the campaigns. All three works
are important sources of our knowledge of Caesar's career.
