Hannibal’s War

J. F. Lazenby’s *Hannibal’s War* offers the first scholarly English account since 1886 solely dedicated to the Second Punic War, often dubbed the ancient world's "first world war" for Mediterranean dominance. Lazenby meticulously details Hannibal's legendary campaign against Rome—from his iconic Alpine crossing with elephants to the war's ultimate conclusion—drawing on Livy, Polybius, and modern research. This comprehensive military history spans the conflict's theaters in Italy, Spain, Greece, and North Africa. This edition also features a new preface discussing recent scholarship.
