Scipio Africanus (236-183 B.C.) was one of the most exciting and dynamic leaders in history. As commander he never lost a battle. Yet it is his adversary Hannibal who has lived on in public memory.As B.H. Liddell Hart writesScipios battles are richer in stratagems and ruses--many still feasible today--than those of any other commander in history. Any military enthusiast or historian will find this to be an absorbing gripping portrait.
