After conquering the Roman city of Saguntum,  Hannibal wages his campaign through the outposts of the empire, shrewdly befriending  peoples disillusioned by Rome and, with dazzling tactics, outwitting the opponents  who believe the land route he has chosen is impossible. Yet Hannibal’s armies must  take brutal losses as they pass through the Pyrenees mountains, forge the Rhone river,  and make a winter crossing of the Alps before descending to the great tests at Cannae  and Rome itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Anthony Durham draws a brilliant and complex Hannibal  out of the scant historical record–sharp, sure-footed, as nimble among rivals as  on the battlefield, yet one who misses his family and longs to see his son grow to  manhood. Whether portraying the deliberations of a general or the calculations of  a common soldier, vast multilayered scenes of battle or moments of introspection  when loss seems imminent, Durham brings history alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42955836260607,"sku":"9780385722490","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780385722490_s600x595.jpg?v=1775604770","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780385722490","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
