Description
Hannibal is a biography of one of history's greatest commanders, a thrilling account of the brilliant general who successfully crossed the Alps with his war elephants and brought Rome to its knees. Born in 247 BC, Hannibal Barca was a skilled military strategist who fought against Rome from a young age.
From his early campaigns in North Africa and Spain, to his epic battles in northern Italy, Hannibal's military genius is on full display. His victories, including the famous Battle of Cannae, are still studied by military historians and strategists today. Despite his ultimate defeat, Hannibal's legacy as a military commander has endured, inspiring admiration from some of the greatest generals in history.
This biography, written by archaeologist and historian Patrick Hunt, brings Hannibal's story to life with wonderful energy and detail. With a focus on the Second Punic War, Hunt's account covers virtually every anecdote connected with Hannibal, making for a compelling and engaging read.
