Description

An original fictionalized biography of one of the greatest commanders in world military history. About Carthage—this eternal enemy of Ancient Rome—there remains not very much information in history. That makes Harold Lamb’s book all the more interesting: a unique biography of Hannibal, the legendary leader of the Carthaginian army, who lived in the 3rd–2nd centuries BC—unique in its credibility and originality.

His military talent manifested during the Punic Wars, which ended the long rivalry between Rome and Carthage. And although Carthage fell, Hannibal’s ideas in military strategy and tactics became the foundation of modern military science. This book tells about the man whose very name caused fear and fury among Roman nobility—about his vivid life, filled with incredible victories and tragic defeats.
