The life of Hannibal, one of the greatest military leaders in history
who brought a hundred thousand soldiers and their elephants across the
Alps to defeat the Romans.
With a new introduction, comes the story of Hannibal, often regarded as
a successor to the mantle of Alexander the Great, at a time when
Carthage, in North Africa, and Rome were rivals for land and power
across the Mediterranean sea. A masterful tactician, a resourceful
planner and courageous general, Hannibal famously crossed the Alps with
a vast army of 100,000 soldiers and their elephants to make his mark on
history, winning a series of battles across the Roman territories,
holding much of Italy for over 15 years without ever quite overthrowing
the Roman Republic.
