    Engrossing Biography of a Brilliant and Enigmatic General
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017*

As Patrick Hunt tells us in the preface to this engaging work, he has spent much of his life researching the enigma that is Hannibal Barca. Now this overriding interest has led Hunt to write a very informative, wide-ranging biography of the famous general.This is a book that makes clear why Hannibal is rightfully considered one of the greatest military figures in history, but it is also a well-balanced volume that avoids hagiography. And while it will certainly please an academic audience, the book is free of academic dryness, avoiding jargon and handling complex concepts in a readable manner. It manages to be suspenseful even when one is already familiar with the events of the general’s life—and that is no easy trick.Hunt is quite skillful in weaving together the various factors that shaped Hannibal’s success and failure, including the startling brilliance of his military mind, the influence of his father, and the political environment of Carthage with its dubious support of the general’s efforts. Hunt is very solid at explaining the faulty tactics—and later brilliance—of the Romans (especially seen in Fabius Maximus and Scipio Africanus). Finally, there is Hannibal’s considerable logistic and administrative skill, a factor often overlooked but which Hunt covers wonderfully.But for all his acumen, Hannibal ultimately failed, and it is this failure that has made him an enigma: His ability to adapt to changing circumstances had been almost wondrous at times—as Hunt makes very clear—but Hannibal seems to have lost something of that ability after his greatest success, Cannae. And here lies the famous multi-faceted question: should Hannibal have invaded Rome? Hunt discusses this question in a very nice, concise way and then goes on to explore an unhappy issue: Was Hannibal incapable of adjusting to what had become the new “game plan” of the Romans? They refused to fight him on his own terms, and they adopted the tactics he had used against them. Hunt explores this topic unsparingly and illuminates how the limitless resources and determination of Rome likely made Hannibal’s mission in southern Italy an inevitable failure. Very highly recommended.

    A fantastic read for anyone interested in history
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017*

A fantastic read for anyone interested in history, Hannibal, and the Punic Wars. I particularly enjoyed the attention to detail regarding topography, the numbers and background of the troops involved in various campaigns, and the overarching social history as Punic and Roman civilizations clashed throughout the narrative. This book does an excellent job of peeling back some of the hidden layers on Hannibal himself, a truly enigmatic character who would’ve stood out as an extraordinary individual in any era. The author’s use of sources such as Polybius and Livy is particularly fascinating when used in conjunction with known facts from the actual battle sites, such as the terrain and climate conditions. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in ancient history or someone who simply loves a good factual story that is well told.

    A good biography of an historical icon
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018*

This book is a very strong biography of Hannibal’s life and times.  It is easy to read and clearly written.  It focuses on both his life and the lives of those around him - though mostly his enemies and a few of his fellow generals.  However, I found it focused more on his movements and battles, which were clearly articulated, and less on the man himself.  Would have liked more on his lifestyle, his family and relationships around him.  For example, the book does not explore his other generals or comrades except for out,inning their positions in battle.  Also, the book could have benefitted from more detailed maps for some of his Italian movements and battles.Overall a very good read to understand Hannibal and his exploits in Europe.
