The Civil War (Penguin Classics)

Few historic figures inspire the imagination of readers like the immortal Caesar. Not only was the man a brilliant military leader, he was also an exceptional writer of Latin literature. Caesar: The Civil War is a masterful retelling of the war that eventually led to his dictatorship. Along with his vivid accounts, his many lieutenants also wonderfully recount many of the decisive campaigns in the brutal war. Jane F. Garner translates the work from its original Latin and preserves the charisma and style of the original text. No other work presents readers with such a complete picture of the famed Roman leader.
