Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War is great for describing what the famous war was really like, but it can be hard to read for students. Luckily, in 1961, Olivia Coolidge wrote this fictional yet factual account of the Gallic War of 58 to 51 B.C. It's narrated by a fictional soldier in Caesar's army and provides a vivid, more readable account of the war. 240 pgs, pb.
