Working from Caesar’s own commentaries, Cicero’s speeches and letters, and the eyewitness accounts of the African and Spanish wars, Froude traces the decay of the Roman Republic and Caesar’s rise through its politics. He follows the conquest of Gaul, the break with Pompey and the civil war, and presents Caesar as the statesman Rome needed.
