Concerning the Gallic War

This book is very well put together and it seems like there is alot of reading but only about 40-45 pages of the book are in Latin. The glossary at the back is very helpful especially because there are words which weren't taught in first year Latin. The notes are helpful except when there is a difficult passage in the text and it looks like Ewan will translate it but he just gives very vague hints at what it might mean. Other than that, I recommend this book for reading Latin and it even has a map of the time period in the front of the book.

Caesar's tale on his invasion of Gaul

Basic text. Makes for some interesting war tactics. Considering how Caesar loved to play propaganda, it makes one wonder how much is near what truly happened. **Recommend for entertaining reading of early Romanempire--Sci-Fi novel called Damsel in the Rough. It's afirst-person take on events after Caesar's death by a womanfrom Brooklyn.
