About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Caesar's Civil War by Adrian Goldsworthy, read by John Telfer.

This is an accessible introduction to Julius Caesar’s Civil War.

Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great were two of the greatest generals Rome had ever produced. Together they had brought vast stretches of territory under Roman dominion. In 49 BC they turned against each other and plunged Rome into civil war. In this book, Adrian Goldsworthy relates the gripping story of this desperate power struggle. Drawing on original accounts of the war, he examines how legion was pitched against legion in a vicious battle for political domination of the vast Roman world. The armies were evenly matched, but in the end, Caesar’s genius as a commander and his great good luck brought him victory in 45 BC.

Updated and revised for the new edition, this is a detailed introduction to one of the last conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire.©2023 Adrian Goldsworthy (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Ancient Military Rome War

Adrian is fast becoming my favourite Rome educator. More words to meet the minimum required.

First class narration by the reliable JT; makes all the difference as all audio fans know.
Content sound and well presented and explained by the go to man for Roman affairs. Despite it's brevity and perhaps also because of it, I would recommend this book for students and all interested in these events and in particular a sound introduction to the Roman republics governing system.
