"""...fascinating, informative, deftly organized and thoroughly 'reader friendly' in presentation.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" ""An excellent introduction provides the background to the action of the book. Michael Sage has managed to narrate what is perhaps one of the most well-known of Rome's conquest, carried out by its most well-known conqueror, in a lucid yet adequately in-depth manner. Highly recommended to any reader of Ancient Warfare magazine.""--Ancient Warfare Magazine ""The book goes into previous battles between Caesar and the Gauls and how he made allies of some tribes which helped him to defeat others... Only one chapter of this book relates to Casesar's invasion of England, the rest, as the title suggests, concentrates on how he fought and eventually pacified the various tribes in Gaul.""--Terry Sutton of the Dover Express & Folkestone Herald ""The narrative reads pleasantly and will be entertaining for anyone interested in the Celts or Romans.""--Hereditas Nexus ""This is a useful entry in this series looking at one of the best known of all Roman Conquests.""-- ""History of War"""
