Hannibal of Carthage

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 the North African Carthage and Italian 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 quite overwhelming the First Republic.
