Sinossi
Il conflitto tra la repubblica romana e lo stato africano di origine fenicia è stato uno dei maggiori eventi del mondo antico in cui, per oltre un secolo, Roma e Cartagine si sono combattute per mare e per terra. Due grandi strateghi di questo conflitto "totale" passeranno alla storia: Annibale, leggendario condottiero che invade l'Italia, mette in scacco Roma e le infligge la bruciante disfatta di Canne, e Scipione l'Africano che in una memorabile battaglia sconfigge Annibale e spezza per sempre il potere di Cartagine. Quest'epica sfida tra le superpotenze del Mediterraneo vede opposti due modelli di organizzazione militare: le multietniche armate cartaginesi, coadiuvate dalla cavalleria e dagli elefanti, e la micidiale forza d'urto delle legioni romane temprate nelle guerre con i popoli italici. Con la vittoria di Scipione a Zama (202 a.C.) nasce l'Impero Romano. Pochi anni dopo Annibale si uccide e Cartagine verrà rasa al suolo.

Recensioni
I am not an historian by training, but I do find a well-written history book an enjoyable read. I chose to read this title due to the author's excellent reputation as a professor of history in Northern Colorado.

Excellent summary of the Pubic wars The book is a complete account of the Punic wars, not only the battle of Zama. It has detailed description of all major battles of this war and gives a picture of how difficult was to defeat the carthagenians. The book also has extensive footnotes, large biography, Leggi tutto
Sommario conciso sulle tre guerre puniche, col focus (ovviamente) sulla seconda. Viene tralasciato poco, ma non viene approfondito nulla. Ho apprezzato l’esposizione concreta, un po’ meno i ‘riassuntini’ a fine capitolo.
Best overall narrative of the Punic Wars. Detailed enough but suitable for general, rather than scholarly reading. Used it first initial research for my paper on the Roman occupation of Spain. This was my second read and I still enjoyed it greatly.
So I was about 82 pages into this book and it was bugging me where I knew the writer from. Brian Todd Carey was a professor of mine for a class or two at American Military University and this was unbeknownst to me when I grabbed this book from the shelf of my local library. This was a pretty good boo Leggi tutto
A great book that not only details the battle at Zama but also the history of the Punic wars as a whole to set you up nicely for the main focus of the book. Hannibal was a unique commander who achieved great feats in his career. Had he got at his disposal anywhere near the amount of resources the Ro Leggi tutto
A terrific little book that focuses narrowly on the battles of Hannibal. Each battle is nicely detailed and mapped out. Other books will tell more about the life of Hannibal, but this one nicely details the trail of battles undertaken by the great general against the Romans over a course of twenty o Leggi tutto
