Caesar's Civil War Karczew

With updates from the author, specially commissioned maps, and 50 new images, this is a concise overview of Julius Caesar's Civil War.Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great were two of the greatest generals Rome had ever produced. Together they had brought vast stretches of territory under Roman dominion. In 49 BC they turned against each other and plunged Rome into civil war. Adrian Goldsworthy relates the gripping story of this desperate power struggle. Drawing on original accounts of the war, he examines how legion was pitched against legion in a vicious battle for political domination of the vast Roman world. The armies were evenly matched, but in the end, Caesar's genius as a commander and his great good luck brought him victory in 45 BC.Fully illustrated in colour, with maps and images throughout, this is a detailed introduction to one of the last conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire.
