Hannibal's War: A Military History of the Second Punic War - Softcover

Lazenby's classic work is now available once more; it gathers together research in many detailed fields, and in particular by analysis of ancient sources, attempts to ascertain what actually happened in those momentous eighteen years during which Rome and Carthage struggled for mastery of the Mediterranean, clashing in Italy, France, Spain, Greece and North Africa.

John F. Lazenby studied Classics at Oxford and is now Professor in Ancient History at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. His interests are particularly centred on the relationship between the Homeric poems and Late Bronze Age Greece, upon which he has written articles with R. Hope Simpson and is joint author with him of The Catalogue of Ships in Homer's Iliad. Other books include Defence of Greece 490-479 B.C. and The Spartan Army.
