The Wars of Julius Caesar: Complete Works. He is often considered the greatest man in history. He invented strategy and changed the shape of the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar's legacy survives not only in his conquests and buildings, but in his books as well. "The Wars of of Julius Caesar" reunites his best known works, "The Gallic Wars" and "The Civil Wars" with the other three that are less known, but attributed to Caesar: "The African Wars", "The Alexandrian Wars" and "The Hispanic Wars", which may have been written by Aulus Hirtius. All works in this illustrated edition are translated by W. A. McDevitte and W. S. Bohn. Beyond its importance as a source document for military and Roman history, It is also of interest because of his first-hand observations of the Celtic tribes that he was waging war on. For instance, refer to Book 6, which contains a long passage about Gaulish society, the Druids, and his famous description of the original burning man ritual. [more]

Julius Caesar was a Roman general, statesman, Consul, and notable author of Latin prose. He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey formed a political alliance that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were opposed by the conservative ruling class within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar's conquest of Gaul, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain. These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to lay down his military command and return to Rome. Caesar refused, and marked his defiance in 49 BC by crossing the Rubicon with a legion, leaving his province and illegally entering Roman territory under arms.[6] Civil war resulted, from which he emerged as the unrivaled leader of Rome. After assuming control of government, Caesar began a program of social and governmental reforms, including the creation of the Julian calendar. He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed "dictator in perpetuity". But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved, and on the Ides of March (15 March) 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus. A new series of civil wars broke out, and the constitutional government of the Republic was never restored. Caesar's adopted heir Octavian, later known as Augustus, rose to sole power, and the era of the Roman Empire began. [more]

Zum Inhalt Nie wieder Las Vegas. Das hat Caesar sich geschworen, als er vor dreizehn Jahren gedemütigt und verraten sein bisheriges Leben hinter sich gelassen hat. Sein heutiges Leben erfüllt ihn. Da ist ein Mann, der ihm den Hof macht, er hat einen Job, der ihm Spaß bereitet, und ein Rudel, das hinter ihm steht. Wäre da nicht die Tatsache, dass er sich verpflichtet fühlt, bald nach Las Vegas zurückzukehren, um seinen Alpha zu begleiten. Keine leichte Sache, wenn man sich einer Situation stellen muss, die man lieber in der Versenkung belassen will. Lug, Verrat und Täuschungen haben ihn schon mal in die Flucht getrieben. Schafft das Rudel, was einer allein nicht kann? Parker ist zufrieden mit seinem Status als Einzelgänger. Er staunt nicht schlecht, als er aus seiner kurzen Zeit in Las Vegas einem Mann wiederbegegnet, dessen Schicksal ihn damals sehr bewegt hat. Caesar wiederzusehen, bringt seine Gefühlswelt ordentlich durcheinander und seinen Wolf dazu, über seinen Status nachzudenken. Eine Reise nach Las Vegas kann alles verändern. Wird die Stärke und die familiäre Verbindung eines Rudels alles zum Besten wenden können? Kann Parker den Geist der Vergangenheit vertreiben und Caesars Herz vor noch mehr Verletzungen bewahren? Das ist der vierte Teil der Eliteeinheit-Reihe. Die Geschichte ist in sich abgeschlossen. Allerdings zieht sich eine Nebengeschichte, die ihren Ursprung im ersten Band findet, durch die nächsten Bände.
