Paperback. Zustand: Good. Hannibal's battle plan at Cannae became the mother of all great battle strategies-the first battle of encirclement that has been imitated (often to disastrous effect) endlessly over the past two thousand years. In this brilliant, long-overdue, and beautifully written account, Robert L. O'Connell gives listeners an epic account of one of the most dramatic battles of antiquity. The Ghosts of Cannae is at once a book about a specific battle (the massive defeat of a huge but inexperienced Roman army in southern Italy by Hannibal in 216 BC) but also an interpretation of the larger course of the Second Punic War, as well as an assessment of the historical impact of Rome's storied rivalry with Carthage. What ties the book together is the fate of the survivors, their treatment by the authorities in Rome, and ultimately their vindication nearly two decades later, when they defeated Hannibal at the decisive battle of Zama in North Africa. With an unforgettable cast of heroes and villains, The Ghosts of Cannae is history at its finest.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. NATIONAL BESTSELLERFor millennia, Carthages triumph over Rome at Cannae in 216 B.C. has inspired reverence and awe. No general since has matched Hannibals most unexpected, innovative, and brutal military victory. Now Robert L. OConnell, one of the most admired names in military history, tells the whole story of Cannae for the first time, giving us a stirring account of this apocalyptic battle, its causes and consequences.OConnell brilliantly conveys how Rome amassed a giant army to punish Carthages masterful commander, how Hannibal outwitted enemies that outnumbered him, and how this disastrous pivot point in Romes history ultimately led to the republics resurgence and the creation of its empire. Piecing together decayed shreds of ancient reportage, the author paints powerful portraits of the leading players, from Hannibalresolutely sane and uncannily strategicto Scipio Africanus, the self-promoting Roman military tribune. Finally, OConnell reveals how Cannaes legend has inspired and haunted military leaders ever since, and the lessons it teaches for our own wars. Robert L. O'Connell, one of the most admired names in military history, tells the whole story of Cannae for the first time, giving a stirring account of this apocalyptic battle of the Second Punic War, and its causes and consequences.
