Book by book, Trollope summarises and comments on Caesar’s own accounts of his campaigns: the Helvetii and the Belgae, the two invasions of Britain, the revolt of Vercingetorix, and the civil war against Pompey. He paraphrases freely, explains the politics and geography, and judges Caesar’s character as he goes.
Written for the series Ancient Classics for English Readers, it is an unexpected and lively piece of Trollope’s non-fiction. Download the free EPUB.
