pp. 144, black and white photographs and illustrations throughout. Book in vg condition, binding clean and tight. “‘Ceasar’s Invasion of Britain’ does much more than tell the story of the abortive invasions of 55 and 54 BC, though it recounts how – by a combination of British tactical sense and good luck – the Romans were forced to abandon their invasion and leave Britain in peace for another century. Richly illustrated, the book also surveys the cultural achievements, religious practices, government, economy, and military organisation of the British Celts. It shows that the Britons were not crude, woad-painted savages, but members of a highly complex and cultured society.”
