A fair treatment of Hannibal's campaigns in Italy. It is not an in-depth study by any means considering its relatively low page count. However, the coverage was sufficient for most military historiphiles who are fascinated by Hannibal's tactics. The maps are very good and the battle descriptions are concise yet fact-filled and well-written. A very good resource and an enjoyable read.
A well thought-out account of Hannibal's Campaigns in Italy.

Virtually since birth, Hannibal Barca was a consumate warrior, strategist and diplomat. Tony Bath takes you on a trip into the mind of one of history's greatest generals. From the siege at Sagentum to his brave defeat at Zama and covering the 14 years he spent ravaging Roman Italy, Hannibal's Campaigns is competently written with a lucidity unmatched in all of my historical readings.
