The Conquest of Gaul (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)

Meer over het boek

Tells how Julius Caesar and his legions conquered much of modern France in less than a decade (58-51 BCE), despite determined resistance. This is a story of diplomatic maneuverings, shifting alliances, and military actions; the final chapters culminate in the revolt of the united Gallic tribes under Vercingetorix, France's first national hero.
