HannibalThis is an historical biography of Hannibal, the military leader of Carthage responsible for waging a dramatic onslaught on Rome during the Punic Wars. One of the few generals of history to be famous for the war he lost, Hannibal's attack in 218BC - which included his renowned march of elephants across the Alps - ranks amongst the most courageous and ill-fated enterprises in the history of the ancient world. This definitive biography of one of the most fascinating figures of ancient history offers a fresh perspective on the demise of the Hellenistic world and the rise of Rome. |

Review: Hannibal
Avis d'utilisateur - GoodreadsThis book is a translation, so maybe the translation was off, but I thought this book was painfully pedantic. The sentences were circuitous and coy, making an already difficult subject harder to understand. I couldn't finish it. Back to comics for me. Consulter l'avis complet
