The Roman Who Out-Thought Hannibal: Scipio Africanus and the Conquest of Carthage: Scipio Africanus and the Conquest of Carthage

By Amit Mittar (Editor)

Hannibal had never lost a major battle. Scipio Africanus studied his tactics, understood his patterns, and then did what no Roman general had dared-he out-thought him on his own ground. This is the story of how a young commander rewrote the rules of war and brought Carthage to its knees.

This edition includes two original tactical diagrams that break down the battles of Ilipa and Zama phase by phase, showing exactly how Scipio turned Hannibal's own maneuvers against him. Order-of-battle tables clarify the forces involved, and every anecdote is sourced to ancient historians by name-Polybius, Livy, Appian-so you know the evidence behind the narrative.

For readers of narrative military history who want the strategy, the sources, and the story in one concise account.
