Reddit reviews Caesar: The Gallic War (Loeb Classical Library)

I have been reading on this topic lately. I have found the Anthony Everitt books to be both informative and entertaining -- he provides context and narrative on the fly which is nice. I also read Caesar's chronicles of the Gallic campaign which are a little more direct and rough around the edges but every bit as interesting -- it seems that the Romans' true superiorities were in thorough planning and feats of engineering. I'm reading a book about Augustus Caesar which is quite interesting but obviously more focused on politics and administration. Tom Holland's "Rubicon" gets recommended a lot and I enjoyed that -- centers around the civil wars. Lots of interesting stuff to read; I will be reading the other redditor's SPQR recommendation next. Most of these are available at Barnes; the rest on Amazon.

Edit: Gallic wars here

For ww2, Antony Barbour is one of my favorite authors, and I'd recommend his books on dday and Stalingrad. For ancient history, get the Gallic wars by Caesar. He goes into extremely fine detail about all the major battles of the Gallic wars. I'd recommend getting a version that's both in Latin and translated. This is the one I have, it has Latin on the left and English on the right, so if you're confused by what its saying, just directly translate the Latin. Caesar was both a strategic and tactical genius, and was able to put that down on paper for us.
