The Wars of the Wales

Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul. 'The Gallic Wars' tells the story of the campaigns from 58 BC to 53 BC, in which Julius Caesar and his Roman legions conquered Gaul and the Celts on the mysterious island of Britain. Caesar's intervention in the brutal Gallic intertribal warfare was originally motivated by genuine concern for Italian security, but as the campaign unfolded, Rome's greatest commander began hatching plans for total conquest. Remarkably, Julius Caesar's own account of the Gallic Wars has survived to this day. Dramatized versions of these personal memoirs, as well as expert opinions from leading military historians, provide a vivid account of this chapter in history.
