The Civil War

The Civil War

J.M. Carter
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Civil War is Caesar's masterly account of the celebrated war between himself and his great rival Pompey, from the crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 B.C. to Pompey's death and the start of the Alexandrian War in the autumn of the following year. His unfinished account of the continuing struggle with Pompey's heirs and followers is completed by the three anonymous accounts of the Alexandrian, African, and Spanish Wars, which bring the story down to within a year of Caesar's assassination in March 44 B.C.

Caesar's lucid narrative technique weaves a varied pattern of success and failure into a satisfyingly dramatic overall structure and justifies his reputation as a historian.
—from the back cover

This generously annotated edition places the war in context and enables the reader to grasp it both in detail and as a whole.
