'Caesar's Legion' offers readers a grunt's-eye view of battle and heroics during the Classical Age. In this thoroughly- researched regimental history, we follow the "Famous Tenth" from its founding by Julius Caesar in 61BC through his greatest military accomplishments: the conquest of Gaul, two invasions of Britain and the civil war against Pompey the Great. After his assassination, the Tenth was sent to Judea where it took part in several more great conflagrations: the siege of Jerusalem in 70AD, the assault on Masada, and the Second Jewish Revolt. Along the way, readers will be introduced to the life of the legionary and given a view inside the mind of Caesar.

Throughout this harrowing tale, Dando-Collins reveals previously unknown details about Roman military practices, Caesar's conduct as a commander and his relationships with officers and legionaries. We learn what a legionary had for breakfast, find out about his training, weapons, clothes, and pastimes. This unique and riveting account sets a new standard of excellence and detail to which all authors of history will now aspire.
