Hannibal was one of the greatest military commanders in history. During the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, he led a ragtag army out of Iberia, on an epic march over the Pyrenees and Alps, and down into northern Italy. There he won three dramatic victories - at Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae - and utterly humiliated the young Roman Republic. For the next fifteen years he continued to inflict stinging defeats on Roman armies, despite a chronic lack of supplies from Carthage. This classic work was first published in 1891. The author follows the march of Hannibal's army, reconstructs his battles based on personal observation of the battlefields, and explains his lasting impact on the art of war. "Hannibal" remains unequaled as the most comprehensive and readable study of one of history's great generals. This edition includes an active table of contents, reflowable text, and over 200 illustrations. At Tales End Press we take pride in our ebooks: to try before you buy, download a free preview!
