Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the famous journey that Hannibal and his army took across the Alps during the Second Punic War. The book is unique in that it examines all of the known accounts of the journey and uses those accounts, especially the account given by the Greek historian Polybius, to perform a geographical investigation into the route that Hannibal most likely took. The author, a military historian with considerable experience in the Alps, was able to perform a firsthand examination of the terrain to corroborate the assertions of Polybius. Many of the earlier accounts of Hannibal's journey that were written prior to the 19th century were based on the assumption that the Roman historian Livy provided a more accurate account than Polybius. The author, however, demonstrates that Livy's account is inaccurate and self-contradictory while Polybius' account is much more precise and most likely accurate. As a result, the author argues that Hannibal crossed the Alps via the Little St. Bernard Pass rather than the Mont Cenis Pass, which had been the traditional view. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in military history, ancient history, or mountain exploration. It is an engaging historical investigation of a pivotal event in ancient history, Hannibal's invasion of Italy.
