The Punic Wars (264-146 B.C.) were a series of conflicts between the rapidly expanding Roman Republic and the Phoenician Sea empire, Carthage. Both sides expended enormous resources assembling armies and building and rebuilding fleets. Hannibal crossed the Alps and the Romans, for the first time, confronted war elephants. The struggle featured heroic personalities, brilliant battles, terrible sieges, cruelty, craft, and for Carthage, devastation and ruin. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

“Hannibal indeed did win a great battle at CANNAE. But in winning the battle-he lost the war.”

The prose in this book is excellent, I fear this style has been lost to time. You can tell the author is so passionate about this topic.

2:27:57 Did a Roman general's vengeful widow really keep Hamilcar locked in a barrel with a corpse? That's too horrible.
