Contained here is Julius Caesar's own account of his military adventures in Gaul at the head of the Roman army, uniquely presented in Caesar's first-person perspective (rather than as a third-person narrative as in the original Latin). Included are seven sections ("books") of the Gallic War, each encompassing one year of Caesar's battles and intrigues; though there is an eighth book, it is generally accepted to have been written by another general, shortly after Caesar's death in 44 BCE.

This production is based on a translation of the work by W.A. McDevitte and W.S. Bohn published in New York in 1869.

The Gallic wars is a fascinating account of Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul (France).
In meticulous detail Caesar recounts the strategies, alliances and the way of life of the Gauls and his ultimate victory in pacifying the new Roman province. Certainly a military genius who understood profoundly the nature of men and war led his troups to resounding victories.
A fascinating account of our shared history, that shaped the future of humanity.

Very easy to follow and extremely well narrated. I will listen to this book several times, I'm sure.

Disclaimers: I am not in the military and I do not live in Europe. I got this book from a friend.
It seems like a couple of millennia since I studied Latin, but who can forget "All Gaul is divided..."? I don't know if partially translating this work is still part of modern curricula, but I ASSume that studying this work is required reading in most military programs and certainly in archaeology and ancient history studies.
This translation seems eminently readable and easily understood (preferably with a map of Europe at hand to make correlation of data more fully assimilated). Current maps make the studies more real and interesting despite the time difference.
If this book is on your required list, you are in luck if you choose this version narrated by Jack Chekijian. While it is true that he performs (as usual) in lecture mode, it is unlikely that you will fall asleep if you follow some simple, logical steps. 1. Give it a first listen at a comfortably quick speed for an overview. 2. Next, listen to it at recorded speed with notebook (proven method to better retention of data) and(if possible) maps at hand. There will be adequate time to write notes and no stop/rewind/restart nonsense. I enjoyed this trip to the past.

Students, here is a good one!

I have read a lot about Ceasar and I have had his works on my to read list for a while now. With that said I would suggest it would help if you do have at least some basic knowledge of the Gallic wars before hand.

I personally like the narrator where I could imagine Julius Caesar sounding very similar. At times it does sound a bit monotone and Ceasar writes come across very report like not to uncommon from military History books. If you are a fan of military History this is a must read in my opinion.

Any additional comments?

Very historical. Very helpful for students studying Roman history and those who are studying about Julius Caesar

Very interesting, I needed visual help to wrap my head around it, though. The voice rocked.

A history of Caesers exploits in forcibly bringing one rule and a "peace" through strength to the Gauls and the region of mighty German lands. Recollect the hint in the movie "Gladiator" of the wars in Ancient Gaul/Germany.

A "fish tale" with glossed over exploits? Who's to say. The jewel is the mentioning of all ancient tribes, lands, customs, beliefs, main historical figures and standings in the power struggle of one tribe towards another of the day. VERY much like the time of American expansionism in recent centuries past.

It never ceases to amaze me upon studying ancient cultures from the Middle East, Europe, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, the Eurasian Steppes, ancient China, Ancient Japan, The Naitive American Tribes, The Mesoamerican Maya, Olmecs, Toltecs and Aztecs were all feudal and warlike. Seemingly always conquering and victimizing neighbors. One must always stay "ready for war" or be easily overran. Note the conundrum? It's sad to realize but history is repleat with acts of barbarity one to another.

Warmongers brought to heel.

This book should be 8 chapters, but the audio is only 7. Very disappointing. The narrator is fine, doesn’t add or detract. Who’s reading these reviews to find if the story is interesting, it’s famous; it can be read on merit alone

Missing a chapter

Excellent reader and great translation of an enduring work still relevant to military members two thousand years later.
