Eso no estaba en mi libro de las guerras púnicas
Martínez-Pinna, Javier
In That Wasn't in My Book of the Punic Wars, we travel to the 3rd century BC. C. to know, first-hand, the main events and the great battles between two armies perfectly trained for combat. Starting in 264 BC, Rome and Carthage faced each other in a fight to the death with the sole objective of destroying their rival and achieving hegemony in the Mediterranean. To do this, they had the experience of valuable generals such as Hannibal Barca and Publius Cornelius Scipio, protagonists of some of the most memorable battles of all time, such as Cannae and Zama (which are still studied in modern military schools). The Punic Wars, due to the volume of the means used, as well as the geographical space where the main acts of arms take place, as well as the strategic and diplomatic plans pursued by both states, are a prolonged conflict that has been considered by many to be the world wars of the ancient world (of course from a Eurocentric point of view), the outcome of which is fundamental to understanding current history. With this book, the reader will know the context and the deep causes that motivated the outbreak of the conflict, will be surprised by the feared corvus with which the Romans faced the all-powerful Carthaginian navy and will be an exceptional witness of the incredible military victories of Hannibal Boat and its epic journey through the Italian Alps. A book that, without a doubt, will not leave us indifferent.
