The enemy were overpowered and took to flight. The Romans pursued as far as their strength enabled them to run' Between 58 and 50 BC Julius Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and invaded Britain twice, and The Conquest of Gaul is his record of these campaigns. Caesar’s narrative offers insights into his military strategy and paints a fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitants of Gaul and Britain, as well as lively portraits of the rebel leader Vercingetorix and other Gallic chieftains. The Conquest of Gaulcan also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing he faces civil war on his return to Rome. Revised and updated by Jane Gardner, S. A. Handford’s translation brings Caesar’s lucid and exciting account to life for modern readers. This volume includes a glossary of persons and places, maps, appendices and suggestions for further reading.

Excerpt from A History of France: From the Conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar Continued to the Year 1878, With Conversations at the End of Each Chapter You know that your father and I have no wish more at heart than to promote the improvement and happiness Of our children. I shall therefore have real pleasure in complying with your wishes, as far as my powers and Opportunities will permit; but you must give me more time for my task than, in your impatience, you seem willing to allow: for I shall have many books to read and refer to; and the more, because the French literature abounds with memoirs, which are not less entertaining, nor indeed instructive, than regular histories. Be assured, however, that I will do my best to make my little compilation worth your acceptance; and that, if I fail, it will not be for want of industry, nor from a want of desire to give you. Pleasure - Accept the prayers and best wishes of your father and mother for your health and happiness, with the kind love of your sister, and believe me ever, mv dear Richard.
