A military leader of legendary genius, Caesar was also a great
writer, recording the events of his life with incomparable
immediacy and power. "The Civil War" is a tense and gripping
depiction of his struggle with Pompey over the leadership of
Republican Rome - a conflict that spanned the entire Roman world,
from Gaul and Spain to Asia and Africa. Where Caesar''s own account
leaves off in 48 BC, his lieutenants take up the history,
describing the vital battles of Munda, Spain and Thapsus, and the
installation of Cleopatra, later Caesar''s mistress, as Queen of
Egypt. Together these narratives paint a full picture of the events
that brought Caesar supreme power - and paved the way for his
assassination only months later.
關於作者：
Gaius Julius Caesar was born in 100BC into an ancient
patrician family. He was imprisoned for a time with his familly,
for protesting against the then leadership of Sulla, but advanced
slowly through the sixties rising to the rank of praetor and
forming the ''first triumvirate'' with Pompey and Crassus. Elected
consul in 59BC, he then became Governor for Transalpine Gaul. After
the death of Crassus and the defeat of Pompey in 45BC, Caesar
returned to Rome as dictator. He was assassinated in March 44BC.
