Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

The fate of Rome teeters on the edge as two of its greatest leaders, once allies, turn sworn enemies in a battle for ultimate power. Julius Caesar, brilliant and relentless, marches his legions against the forces of Pompey the Great, igniting a war that will shake the foundations of the Republic. Betrayals, shifting allegiances, and epic clashes unfold across Italy, Greece, and North Africa, as Caesar's own words pull the reader into the heart of the conflict. With each calculated move and hard-fought victory, the struggle for Rome's future becomes a test of strategy, loyalty, and the price of ambition.

Written by one of history's greatest military minds, this firsthand account offers a rare glimpse into the political turmoil that shattered the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar's The Civil War is more than a war chronicle-it is a masterclass in strategy, leadership, and the ruthless pursuit of power. His sharp, unembellished prose provides insight into the mind of a man who reshaped history, setting the stage for the rise of the Roman Empire. Both a political manifesto and a gripping historical document, this work remains essential for understanding the forces that shaped Western civilization.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

​Born on July 12, 100 BC, into the patrician gens Julia, Julius Caesar was immersed in Rome's political life from an early age. His family claimed descent from Iulus, son of Aeneas, linking them to divine ancestry. Despite their noble lineage, the Julii Caesares were not particularly influential during the middle republic. ​Caesar's early career was marked by military service and political maneuvers. He served in Asia and Cilicia, earning the civic crown for his bravery. His return to Rome saw him elected as military tribune and later as quaestor, aligning with popularist factions to challenge the Senate's authority. ​His ascent continued with his election as pontifex maximus in 63 BC and praetor in 62 BC. As governor of Hispania Ulterior, he achieved military successes that alleviated his debts. Forming the First Triumvirate with Pompey and Crassus, Caesar's influence expanded, leading to his pivotal role in the transformation of the Roman Republic.
