The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works: Gallic War, Civil War, Alexandrian War, African War, and Spanish War

The Landmark approach results in a hefty volume but one which adds enormous value. The work which has gone into providing context and background to Caesar's Commentaries is outstanding. So much work has been put in that it cannot be fitted into the printed volume with the excess going into a series of highly informative web essays. The translation is clear and flowing whilst retaining the lapidary quality of the original. The narrative is supported by many excellent maps - another of the excellent features of the Landmark approach. The whole package is outstanding value for money.

I have all the books in the 'Landmark' series and cannot praise them highly enough. Every volume is authoritative, informative and beautifully presented. This latest volume is a worthy addition to the series.

I have read Caesar's Gallic and Civil wars years ago but this book is an excellent way to read again.

Excellent edition.

Outstanding

The text is fine however having the appendices online is an absolute disaster. So much so that in future, if this practice continues, I will in all probability not purchase any further Landmark Classics. Just give us the books please.

Whilst generally pleased, the book is a little battered, so you might like to get it from another source.

This book which I have just received, and upon spending an hour sampling a most comprehensive content and appendices, maps and plates as well as numismatics, showing many of the coins that I have within my own collection and adding more meaning to each struck flan, it also provides me with a thrilling opportunity to read and learn more on this most important turning point in western history and advancement (in my view). However I recoil every time I see the attempted vandalism of the English abbreviation's for BC and AD with the deliberate replacement (destined to fail) of BCE and CE...... Had I known of this incursion I would NOT have purchased this tome as a point in principle !

Tiene una excelente presentación y está muy detallado

A couple of years ago, I bought the Landmark's Arrian "Alexander Campaigns" and enjoyed everything about that book, the story, the format, the notes, essays, and the maps ( dozens and dozens of maps). So when I saw that they have Caesar's campaigns, I did not hesitate and bought it immediately. This book is even better than Arrian's. Caesar was a great narrator, and again, the story, the format, the notes, essays, and the maps complemented Caesar's works perfectly. There are additional essays that you can download. I have not read those yet, as I hate reading on a computer screen, but I'm planning to print them soon. I would buy the essays as a separate book from Landmark if they had it available (what I call a missed opportunity from the publisher). I believe this is one of the best versions of Caesar's campaigns. If you are interested in this topic, you would not need to look any further

The layout of the information is excellent. I enjoy reading all the comments and footnotes related to the person or event. I read all history books, whether novels, biographies, etc. for enjoyment.

Magnífico trabajo de mapas, notas, anexos...excelente colección. Me pillaré más.

Excellent.
