The Civil Wars Book 1

The Civil Wars is a firsthand account of the pivotal conflict between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, written by Caesar himself. Covering the events leading to the war, his strategic campaigns in Italy, Spain, and Greece, and culminating in Pompey’s defeat at Pharsalus, the narrative showcases Caesar’s military genius, political resolve, and justification for seizing power. Written in a clear, detached tone, the work presents Caesar’s perspective as a commander fighting for legitimacy against a corrupt Senate. Though unfinished—ending before his ultimate victory—it remains a crucial historical document offering insight into Roman politics, loyalty, and the fall of the Republic. A foundational text of military and political history.
