Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Caesar's Commentaries: The Gallic War, Books I-IV, With Selections From Books V-VII and From the Civil War
This edition aims to interest the High School pupil in Caesar, to assist him by notes adapted to his stage of progress, and to facilitate his accomplishment of the second year of Latin work with appreciation of and respect for the subject, and with a firm foundation for further study.
America's entrance into the world con?ict has aroused uni versal interest in warfare. Viewed in the light of the great struggle, Caesar's Commentaries take on a new interest. Modern armies have clashed on the battlefields of the Gallic War; mod ern camps are laid out in a way to suggest the manner of the Romans. The strategy of Joffre and of Hindenburg finds its prototype in that of Caesar, and modern armor, especially in types of helmet and breastplate, strikingly resembles that of ancient times. In countless ways - even to Caesar's statement, Of all these the bravest are the Belgians - the World War reproduces on a larger scale the campaigns of Caesar.
