This epic retelling of the famous Carthaginian military leader's assault on the Roman empire begins in Ancient Spain, where Hannibal Barca models out with tens of thousands of soldiers and 30 elephants. After conquering the Roman city of Saguntum, Hannibal pay his marketing campaign through the outposts of the empire, shrewdly befriending individuals disillusioned by Rome and, with stunning strategies, outwitting the opponents who believe that the land course he has chosen is impossible. Yet Hannibal's armies must take brutal deficits as they go through the Pyrenees mountains, forge the Rhone river, and make a winter crossing of the Alps before descending to the fantastic tests at Cannae and Rome itself. David Anthony Durham attracts an excellent and sophisticated Hannibal from the scant historical record' - distinct, sure-footed, as nimble among competitors as on the battlefield, yet one who misses his family and longs to see his boy grow to manhood. Whether portraying the deliberations of an over-all or the computations of any common soldier, vast multilayered moments of fight or moments of introspection when loss seems imminent, Durham brings history alive.
