These 5 narratives present a comprehensive picture of military & political developments leading to the collapse of the Roman republic & the advent of the Roman Empire. THE GALLIC WAR is Caesar's own account of his 2 invasions of Britain & of conquering most of what is today France, Belgium, & Switzerland. THE CIVIL WAR describes the conflict in the following year which, after the death of his chief rival, Pompey, & the defeat of Pompey's heirs & supporters, resulted in Caesar's emergence as the sole power in Rome. Accompanying Caesar's own commentaries are 3 short but essential additional works, known to us as THE ALEXANDRIAN WAR, THE AFRICAN WAR, & THE SPANISH WAR. These were written by 3 unknown authors who were clearly eyewitnesses & probably Roman officers. Caesar's clear & direct prose provides a riveting depiction of ancient warfare & not incidentally a persuasive portrait for the Roman people (and for us) of Caesar himself as a brilliant, moderate, & effective leader—an image that was key to his final success. KURT A. RAAFLAUB's masterful translation skillfully brings out the clarity & elegance of Caesar's style & this together w/ such LANDMARK features as maps, detailed annotations, appendices, & illustrations provide every reader from lay person to scholar w/ a richly rewarding experience. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Stunning .

(xxxii), 711 pp. The Free Press, From the dust jacket, "Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Written centuries before the rise of modern historiography, Thucydides' narrative is not continuous or linear. His authoritative chronicle of what he considered the greatest war of all time is rigorous and meticulous, yet omits the many aids to comprehension modern readers take for granted-such as brief biographies of the story's main characters, maps and other visual enhancements, and background on the military, cultural, and political traditions of ancient Greece. Robert Strassler's new edition amends these omissions, and not only provides a new coherence to the narrative overall but effectively reconstructs the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers, The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety and depth, and numerous other useful features. Readers will find that with this edition they can dip into the text at any point and be immediately oriented with regard to the geography, season, date, and stage of the conflict. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This handsome, elegant, and authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations." With superbly presented and designed maps and with informative appendices by classical scholars and marginal notes on each page. Introduction of Victor Davis Hanson. Very fine though the binding was applied upside down.…
