The photographic section is a definite highlight..a good account of one of the most decisive battles of the ancient world. * War History Online *
Those seeking a primer on Alesia need look no further than this excellent book. * Military History Magazine *
The battle of Alesia was a decisive moment in world History. Failure would have been a defeat for Caesar not just in Gaul, but at Rome, and without this victory, Rome might never have become a worldwide power. * All About History *

...a really interesting work that thoroughly describes not only the battle of Alesia, but the Gallic War and issues closely related to it. The authors base their work on numerous ancient sources, research works and books. * Imperium Romanum *
If you are looking for a more in-depth narrative of the campaign and its protagonists, the place of this battle in history and its long term impact I would certainly recommend this book for your collection. * Society of Ancients newsletter *
