Julis Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War is one of the most important historical texts from the ancient world. Olivia Coolidge, an Oxford-trained scholar, translated and updated the original text to make it accessible and enjoyable to young readers. This edition dramatizes the conqueror's voice as he ruthlessly pursues military glory in Gaul and builds a foundation for his subsequent rise to power. Narrated by a fictitious Roman soldier, this story weaves in historical facts to capture the excitement, triumph, hardships, and moral quandaries faced by the Romans as they ravaged the Gauls between 58 and 51 BC.
