Description
Scipio Africanus' life was marked by pivotal victories and ultimate downfall. This gripping historical novel charts his six-decade journey across three continents, from his defeat of Hannibal at Zama to his successes against Antiochus and Philip V. Through the eyes of a compassionate friend, Leckie brings to life the complexities of Scipio's character, revealing both his triumphs and flaws. The result is a moving tragedy that explores the human side of one of history's greatest leaders. A superb historical novel that brilliantly evokes the period in which it is set, SCIPIO offers a compelling account of success and failure, filtered through the lens of loyalty and friendship.
