Title: Good Academic History, Boring Story Telling
Product review: I was a little hard for me to read this book.Altough the author makes a very good book in terms of a scholar work, the work lacks life and vigor.Probably the Punic Wars is not an easy sell to readers but still, the author could have done a better job in presenting a more colorful and living history.I am not saying that he should turn the Punic Wars into an Indiana Jones movie, but the book is too scholarly,too Oxford, which makes for a pretty boring book.I found myself reading a couple of pages and then putting down the book for another time.It took me almost 5 months to finish it.If you are looking for a college course, this is your book.If you want living history get another book
