Caesar Against The Celts

Meer over het boek

<i>Caesar Against the Celts</i> takes the reader on each of Caesar's campaigns in ancient France, Britain &amp; Germany, describing his battles on land &amp; sea, including the invasions of England, the bridge across the Rhine &amp; sieges of numerous Celtic strongholds. Tho Caesar's dangerous leap across the Channel to mysterious Britain was perhaps the most spectacular feat of his northern campaigns, the climax of war occurred at Alesia, in central France. Here, the young Celtic warrior Vercingetorix, commanding a huge coalition of rebellious tribes, finally surrendered to Caesar after an epic siege, only to be carted off to Rome in chains &amp; put to death after his opponent's triumphal parade. <i>Caesar Against the Celts</i> presents the facts, the myths &amp; the speculations not only about what Caesar achieved, but also how &amp; why.
