Question: Conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar (Penguin Classics Edition) Help!!!?

I have to read this book for school and I've already read half of it. I've always been a good student, but the problem is that I really don't understand what I'm reading. I have to write a 3-5 page paper within the next few weeks and answer a list of really complicated and specific questions. I looked up to see if there was a sparknotes or an online summary/study guide, but I can't find what I'm looking for. The list is so long and confusing that I couldn't even type it out here. Please Help!!!

Answer: At least you are reading it in English. I had to read it in Latin! Itis a description of Julius Caesar's wars against the Gauls, probably compiled from the (self-serving) reports he sent back to the Senate in Rome. Otherwise, I don't know how to help you further, except to suggest that you google for a map of ancient Gaul with the tribal names and place names to see where the campaigns were taking places. Also google those names for more information.
