| Publisher Description: Julius Caesar's journey to Conquer Gaul is the story of the Gallic Wars starting with his first battles as an untried commander of l gions. The reader is part of the Journey, living with Caesar and the Gallic Helvetii starting in 58 BC. The journey begins in Switzerland with a host of 360,000 people with thousands of animals intent on crossing Gaul to settle on the Atlantic Coast. The Journey ends in Switzerland as well with results that are tragic, and which have shaped the history of Europe and the world. The migration of the Helvetii set off the Gallic Wars and Caesar's conquest of Gaul, which marked the first unification of what is now Europe. |
