Title: Hannibal; Enemy Of Rome
Review: I think that Leonard Cottrell does a very well job of depicting Hannibal's march on Rome, with 90,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and 37 elephants. I also loved reading about Cottrell's opinion and what his thoughts of the battles were. I loved how he described Hannibal's strategies, tactics, and especially Hannibal's traps. The traps Hannibal set for the Romans were amazing. He showed that Hannibal was witty. My favorite part was when Cottrell was depicting the battle of Cannae. He did a real job of depicting the scene like he had first hand experience. It really gave me and idea when Cottrell would compare the battle with previous American wars, or when he compared the Cannae battle field to Central park with 70,000 dead Roman soldiers in it. So in my opinion, I would recommend this book to anyone.
