When I was in the military, they stressed that to understand the craft of war; one should read the classics on war. However, no one told me that it would be fun. I stayed away from Caesar because I thought it would be stuffy. Well I was wrong. This book is a geography lesson and a history lesson. It is even a "how to". Nevertheless, it turns out that being a first person made it come alive. However, he had an ego and a half. The Campaign took place between 58 and 50 BC and the names for the tribes of Gaul are similar to the countries today. Now close your eyes and now open "It Doesn't Take a Hero" by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf. Where does one stop and the other begin?

It Doesn't Take a Hero : The Autobiography of General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

Julius Caesar has again conquered a new land. I knew the result of this book from reading other works that explain how he conquered Gaul which is now France. But I never knew every detail and every little inquiry that went into Julius winning this battle, if you have anything to do with the military you should read this book, even if you are not a participant of the military you can learn stuff that will make an amazing impact on everything in your life.
