Summary:

Book III of Caesar's de Bello Civili is arguably the most interesting he ever wrote, containing as it does the two major campaigns of Dyrrachium and of Pharsalus---Caesar's titanic struggle with his arch-rival Pompey. This edition, first published in 1941, remains an extremely serviceable introduction. It was designed with the comparative beginner in mind. An introduction contains the historical background; extensive annotation gives assistance with linguistic difficulties; and there is a full vocabulary. There are full chapter headings in English enabling the reader to follow the narrative and easily select sections of most interest.
