by G P Baker DEGREESDAn unabridged republication of the first 1929 edition, this is a straightforward and absorbing assessment of Hannibal's career and far-reaching impact on the Roman world. Beginning with the rise of Phoenician cities and trade, Baker presents the origins for the desparate struggle and gives a vivid account of the protagonists, their motives and personalities. The book is dominated by Hannibal's determination and powers of leadership which, Baker suggests, strongly influenced Sulla and Caesar. Descriptions of the dramatic events are accompanied by battle plans for Cannae and Zama.
