When he left his Spanish base one spring day in 218 B.C. with his 100,000-man army of mercenaries, officers, and elephants, Hannibal was launching not just the main offensive of the Second Punic War but also one of the great military journeys in ancient history. His masterful advance through rough terrain and fierce Celtic tribes proved his worth as a leader, but it was his extraordinary passage through the Alps—still considered treacherous even by modern climbers—that made him a legend. John Prevas combines rigorous research of ancient sources with his own excursions through the icy peaks to bring to life this awesome trek, solving the centuries-old question of Hannibal's exact route and shedding fresh light on the cultures of Rome and Carthage along the way. Here is the finest kind of history, sure to appeal to readers of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire: alive with grand strategy, the clash of empires, fabulous courage, and the towering figure of Hannibal Barca.

Hannibal is “an exciting biography of one of history’s greatest commanders…a thrilling page-turner” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about the brilliant general who successfully crossed the Alps with his war elephants and brought Rome to its knees, and who is still regarded today as one of the greatest military strategists in history. Hannibal Barca of Carthage, born 247 BC, was one of the great generals of the ancient world. His father, Hamilcar, imposed Carthaginian rule over much of present-day Spain. After Hamilcar led the Carthaginian forces against Rome in the First Punic War, Hannibal followed in his father’s footsteps. From the time he was a teenager, Hannibal fought against Rome. He is famed for leading Carthage’s army across North Africa, into Spain, along the Mediterranean coast, and then crossing the Alps with his army and war elephants. Hannibal won victories in northern Italy by outmaneuvering his Roman adversaries and defeated a larger Roman army at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC. Unable to force Rome to capitulate, however, he was eventually forced to leave Italy and return to Carthage when a savvy Roman general named Scipio invaded North Africa. Hannibal and Scipio fought an epic battle at Zama, which Hannibal lost. Many Carthaginians blamed Hannibal, who was exiled until his death. Hannibal is still regarded as a military genius. Napoleon, George Patton, and Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. are only some of the generals who studied and admired him. His strategy and tactics are still taught in military academies. “With wonderful energy…archeologist and historian Patrick Hunt distills his survey of literature about the Second Punic War into a brightly dramatic story that covers virtually every anecdote connected with Hannibal” (The Christian Science Monitor). “Hunt’s story of the doomed general, whose exploits are more celebrated than those of his vanquishers, will appeal to any reader interested in military history or strategy” (Publishers Weekly).

In his book entitled Hannibal Barca, The Greatest General: The Meteoric Rise, Defeat, and Destruction of Rome's Fiercest Rival author Barry Linton chronicles the adventures, myth, and legacy of Hannibal Barca. Hannibal accomplished many great successes, experienced personal tragedies, and yet persevered through it all. Nearly 2,200 years ago, he waged a 15 year long campaign against the Romans called the Second Punic War. He's a polarizing character in history, and continues to be mysterious. Many documents of his exploits were most likely destroyed or altered by the conquering Romans, but what remains of his story has been studied by historians for over a thousand years. A military genius, he survived in enemy lands and defeated nearly every army that ever assembled against him. His great strategic victories and stunning crossing of the Alps have been esteemed by modern-day military leaders. Hannibal is considered to be one of the most brilliant generals in history, fathering many strategies that would later be applied by leaders such as Napoleon Distinguished Generals have looked to his campaigns for guidance, such as Napoleon and George Patton. He led from the front, never asking his men to do what he would not. This book examines his life and his accomplishments. Follow along as we learn about his origins, beginning with his rise to power and ending with his eventual suicide. His life and legacy remains the subject of art, literature, as well as other mediums. Hannibal often faced numerically superior enemy forces, but through ingenuity and the loyalty of his men, he would win battle after battle against the Romans.

The life of the great Carthaginian general who marched into Rome during the Second Punic War is reexamined in this revealing and scholarly biography. Once of the greatest military minds of the Ancient World, Hannibal Barca lived a life of daring and survival, massive battles, and ultimate defeat. A citizen of Carthage and military commander in Punic Spain, he famously marched his war elephants and huge army over the Alps into Rome’s own heartland to fight the Second Punic War. Yet the Romans were the ultimate victors. They eventually captured and destroyed Carthage, and thus it was they who wrote the legend of Hannibal: a brilliant and worthy enemy whose defeat represented military glory for Rome. In this groundbreaking biography, Eve MacDonald employs archaeological findings and documentary sources to expand the memory of Hannibal beyond his military career. Considering him in the context of his time and the Carthaginian culture that shaped him, MacDonald offers a complex portrait of a man from a prominent family who was both a military hero and a statesman. MacDonald also analyzes Hannibal’s legend over the millennia, exploring how statuary, Jacobean tragedy, opera, nineteenth-century fiction, and other depictions illuminate the character of one of the most fascinating figures in all of history.

Before Napoleon. Before Caesar. Before the Mediterranean was ruled by a Roman Emperor, the finest general in the world hailed from Africa. Hannibal Barca and his family dominated the powerful city of Carthage. As the fledgling city-state of Rome broke their peace treaty and bargained for war, Hannibal sacrificed all that he loved to march against the bully power. The strength of his wife and mother at home kept Carthage in check, while Hannibal executed the most daring invasion in military history...marching over the Alps with dozens of war elephants among his guard. He drives terror into the Roman people, racing to the gates of Rome...until enemies within send cracks through his carefully planned victory. When brothers die and comrades betray, who but Hannibal can offer hope? When Rome is within reach, what cost is too high for victory? When family demands heartbreak, where does allegiance lie? Amid the passion of war, Hannibal finds one enemy he can respect. But after freeing this young Roman officer, he grows into Hannibal's greatest nemesis, rescuing Rome from the abyss. Will honor be Hannibal's undoing? Does strength stand a chance against deceit? When politics and warriors are at odds, who will win the day? Hannibal Barca is the thrilling tale of a family dedicated to the greatness of a city and the sacrifices they each make during the Second Punic War.

Hannibal Barca, general of the Carthaginian army, strikes terror in the hearts of his Roman foes. Hannibal is determined to march on Italy and attack the people he has pledged to hate. After a victory in Saguntum, an Iberian ally of Rome... ...the legendary general presses onward. Carthage's strength and growth threaten the Roman reputation and ego, and Rome's pride prevents any peace. It is said, "Saguntum was the flint and Hannibal the rock, but it was Roman-laid tinder that ignited." Yet a Roman consul, Old Scipio, and his son, Young Scipio, nobles of Rome, have little fear of such an enemy. Their army is superior in weaponry and numbers, and they ride out to battle, confident in a victory. Although it seems impossible... ...somehow the shrewd and fearless barbarian general turns the Roman advantage on its head. A general who can successfully bring an entire army-and a herd of war-elephants-through the bitter cold and harsh conditions of the Alps is an enemy rightly to be feared. With allies like the African king Masinissa and the barbarian princess Frederix, Hannibal is poised for what history will call the Second Punic War. He neither knows nor cares about Old Scipio's message to Carthage... "Submission or death: those are the choices Rome gives you." He was undermanned, under-armed, and yet he would play by the rules, even if the Romans he fought would not. How could he ever expect to win? By being that damn good. His tactics would redefine war... ...and his principles would redefine man. Hannibal brings to life the ancient and epic battle between General Hannibal Barca, one of the greatest generals of all time, and the might of the Roman Empire.

Hannibal Barca's (247-183/181 BC) journey across the Alps with a large army and accompanying elephants is admired as one of the most audacious journeys of the classical world. His subsequent victories over the Roman Empire culminating in the incontestable Roman defeat at the Battle of Cannae is considered amongst the most esteemed and studied military expeditions of all time. This book aims to offer a day-to-day style chronology of Hannibal's journey to domination over the Roman Empire in a diary format. It is the first of its kind to offer a holistic view of daily events during the early stages of the 2nd Punic War, whose specific dates have been calculated to give accurate times and places. As part of the meta-chronology book series, it utilises Polybius' text as a core on which additional sources have been applied to calculate ancient dates with precision. This diary therefore presents a unique chronological perspective through which to better appraise the courageous journey and powerful rise of Hannibal passing through the mountain ranges of the Pyrenees and Alps followed by successive victories and the ensuing supremacy of Roman Italy.
