Author Description

The Three Punic Wars Lasted Nearly 100 Years, From 264 Bc To 146 Bc. They Represented A Struggle For Regional Supremacy Between The Burgeoning Land Power Of Rome, Bent On Imperial Conquest, And The Great Maritime Power Of Carthage With Its Colonies And Trading Posts Spread Around The Mediterranean. This Book Reveals How The Dramas And Tragedies Of The Punic Wars Exemplify Many Political And Military Lessons That Are As Relevant Today As When Hannibal And Scipio Africanus Fought To Determine The Course Of History In The Mediterranean.
