The Civil War: With the anonymous Alexandrian, African, and Spanish Wars (Oxford World's Classics) by Carter, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780192839237.

The Civil War is Caesars masterly account of the celebrated war between himself and his great rival Pompey, from the crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 B.C. to Pompeys death and the start of the Alexandrian War in the autumn of the following year. His unfinished account of the continuing struggle with Pompeys heirs and followers is completed by the three anonymous accounts of the Alexandrian, African, and Spanish Wars, which bring the story down to within a year of Caesars assassination in March 44 B.C. This generously annotated edition places the war in context and enables the reader to grasp it both in detail and as a whole.
