About this audiobook
From one of the most brilliant military historians of our time, this is the classic biography of Rome's greatest general and the victor over Rome's greatest enemy, Hannibal.
Scipio Africanus (236–183 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.

Africansus was not this man's last name. His last name was Scipio. He was named after the continent after his victory in the Punic Wars which took place in Africa. Hannibal, a black man, was the leader of Carthage, an ancient black civilization. Hannibal's father forced Hannibal to swear that he would forever be the enemy if Rome.
