"An excellent addition to scholarship on the Second Punic War and complements his own The Punic Wars...Goldsworthy devotes most of the book to the battle itself. He calls on ancient literary sources and topographical surveys and explains the tactics employed by each side...the author gives the battle narration a sense of urgency as he describes, with reasoned imagination, what the individual Roman soldier probably experienced.... Lavishly illustrated, engagingly written...the book will appeal to readers at all levels."--"Choice.
