"Hannibal's talents at the level of theater strategy are well
proven by his swift movement from Spain all the way to Italy; his
mastery of the operational art of war is revealed by the regularity
with which he outmaneuvered Roman armies that tried to intercept
him; and his tactical brilliance was demonstrated in virtually
every battle with Roman forces. . . . There is now no better
account of a slice of history that continues to fascinate."--Edward
N. Luttwak, American Historical Review
"Scipio won . . . not because he was a better general, but because
he had a better army."--Times Literary Supplement
