Download Hannibal's Oath: The Life and Wars of Rome's Greatest Enemy AudioBook Free
According to the early sources, Hannibal was nine years of age when his father led him to the temple at Carthage and dipped the young boy's hands in the blood of the sacrificial victim. Before those gods, Hannibal swore an oath of eternal hatred toward Rome. Few images ever sold have managed to capture and hold the popular imagination quite like that of Hannibal, the fearless North African, perched over a monstrous elephant, leading his mercenaries over the Alps and then, against all chances, descending the ice-covered peaks to challenge Rome in her own garden for mastery of the early world. It was a strong move, and it founded Hannibal as one of history's most significant commanders. But this same great tactician is also one of history's most tragic information; fate condemned him to gain his battles however, not his warfare against Rome. An internationally identified expert on Hannibal for nearly 30 years, historian John Prevas has went to every Hannibal-related site and pile move, from Tunisia to Italy, Spain to Turkey, seeking data to dispel the misconceptions surrounding Hannibal's identity and his wars. Hannibal's Oath is an easily listenable yet extensive biography of the iconic military leader - an epic bill of any monumental and tragic life.
