This great work contains the narrative of Cæsar's military operations in Gaul, Germany and Britain. It was given to the world in the year 51 B.C. Every victory won by Cæsar had only served to increase the alarm and hostility of his enemies at Rome, and doubt and suspicion were beginning to spread among the plebeians, on whom he chiefly relied for help in carrying out his designs. When public opinion was evidently taking the side of the Gauls and Germans the time had come for Caesar to act on public opinion. Hence the 'Commentaries,' a hasty compilation made from notes jotted down in his tent or during a journey. As to its truthfulness we cannot decide absolutely, the Gauls not having written their commentaries. But if Cæsar sinned in this respect, it was probably by omission, not by commission. Things the Romans might not like he does not mention: the sole aim of the book is to gain their suffrage. There is no allusion to the enormous fortune Cæsar acquired by plunder. On the other hand, he speaks of his cruelties—for instance, the killing in cold blood of 20,000 or 100,000 prisoners—with a calmness that to us is horrible, but which the Romans would deem natural and proper.

Nine contributions demonstrate that the appearance of simplicity in Julius Caesar's writings is achieved through subtle skill in the selection of style, language and content, which promotes Caesar and downplays Roman enemies. Contents: The publication of De Bello Gallico ( T. P. Wiseman ); Ratio and Romanitas in the Bellum Gallicum ( L. G. H. Hall ); The Logos of Caesar's Bellum Gallicum ( Catherine Torigian ); C. E. Stevens and the tradition on Caesar the propagandist ( Barbara Levick _; Caesar and his officers in the Gallic War commentaries ( Kathryn Welch ); Caesar and the presentation of massacre ( Anton Powell ); Noble Gauls and their other in Caesar's propaganda ( Jonathan Barlow ); Caesar's portrayal of Gauls as warriors ( Louis Rawlings ) and 'Instinctive genius': The depiction of Caesar the general ( Adrian Goldsworthy ).

This is Gallico's first published book. It was published by Grosset and Dunlap on the cusp of World War II in 1939. In form, the novel is a connected series of adventures, rather akin to short stories which flow into one another. In the book, Holliday was rewarded with time off and a cash reward which he used to go to Europe. In Europe he fights spies and Nazis, finds his true love, achieves some fame as a foreign correspondent with his newspaper back in New York, and becomes the man of action he aspired to be. The book has the major themes of the protagonist coming to grips with his own character and destiny, how individuals act when confronted by great evil, and the overarching question of would war come to Europe. The book encapsulates Gallico's views and insights at the time of writing, without the hindsight of later events - some of which turned out to be wrong and others were quite accurate.
