Book Description
Scipio Africanus (236183 b.c.) 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.
