From one of the most brilliant military historians of our time, this is the classic biography of Rome's greatest general and the victor over Rome's greatest enemy, Hannibal.  

Scipio Africanus (236-183 BC) was one of the most exciting and dynamic leaders in history. As commander, he never lost a battle. Yet it is his adversary, Hannibal, who has lived on in public memory. As B. H. Liddell Hart writes, "Scipio's battles are richer in stratagems and ruses - many still feasible today - than those of any other commander in history." Any military enthusiast or historian will find this to be an absorbing, gripping portrait.

Informed, opinionated, surprising, and thought-provoking. Classic British narrator can't pronounce Cato (who the author hates, BTW).

The book, at least until the last chapter, is a great biography of one of the greatest generals in history. The last chapter is just a fanboy doing fanboy things, and by fanboying so hard, readers may even question the vailidity of rest of the book. It's a great read overall, but take the last chapter with grain of salt.

Ok, chill out there Harty boy.
