97 - Gallic Wars 7: Vercingetorix and the Great Revolt

  • Summary

  • Caesar faces the Gallic Grande Armée through fire and snow, in part 7, the climax of our series on Caesar’s masterwork of psychology, strategy, and propaganda: On the Gallic War (De Bello Gallico).

    This is a world-history making story (the conquest of what’s now modern France), told by a world-history making storyteller.

    Caesar entered Gaul as a mere politician. He returned 9 years later as a conqueror - and an enemy of the state. He tells how it all happened with his own pen.

    • Slaughterings begin at Cenabum
    • The Incendiary Tactics of Vercingetorix
    • Rebellion amongst Roman Allies
    • Caesar loses Gregovia…
    • …but clinches victory at Alesia
    • Vercingetorix falls, sealing the fate of Gaul
