So he wrote in plain terms, but still made it entertaining.

Xenophon makes Anabasis so entertaining that it is one of the few accounts of this war that survive. So, at least in this respect, Xenophon succeeds. Caesar, too, writes in a straightforward manor, but to a different effect. Caesar tells the play-by-play of events so matter-of-factly and so without embellishment that it’s all too easy to take his word for it. “In this Caesar avenged not only the public but also his own personal wrongs, because the Tigurini had slain Lucius Piso the lieutenant [of Cassius], the grandfather of Lucius Calpurnius Piso, his [Caesar 's] father-in-law, in the same battle as Cassius himself” (1.12) He doesn’t have to spend much time on detail to convince the reader, he already has a good reputation among the public for much of his word to be taken at face-value and no one would dare speak up against Caesar’s word. Caesar’s reputation is only tarnished and he’s working to…

take place during wartime, this article will focus, ‘Julius Caesar, Gallic Wars’ and compare it with ‘The Winds Of War’ (a book which focuses on the events of World War II). Analysis The structure of the depiction of Alesia’s siege outlines the methods and strategies of Caesar, portrayed quite nicely in the book.

Then either the country will fall into another Depression, or war would…
