Features: A battle is like just. The frenzied passes. Consequence remains. "Such are the observations made and ill-gotten lessons learned in this fictional autobiographical narrative of breathtaking range and power. Ross Leckie not only presents a vivid re-creation of the great struggle of the Punic Wars and the profoundly bloody battle for Rome, but succeeds in bringing the almost mythical figure of Hannibal to life. Introspective, educated on the Greeks, but steeped in animosity for Rome, Hannibal has never been presented quite like this.
