5.0 out of 5 stars A classic of military history
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 1999
I had the pleasure of finishing this book sitting on the edge of a statue, overlooking the Circus Maximus in Rome last August, and the location only enhanced the experience of the book. Nigel Bagnall's excellent history of the Punic Wars gives, not only an insight into the growth of the Roman Empire, but also the transition of the land-based, city power of the Romans into the military power that would dominated the Meditteranean, Northern Europe and the Near East directly for five hundred years, but with echoes that continue today. The Punic Wars were where it all started.
We are shown where the failings were in the tri-partite 'constitution' (only a theoretical idea, there was no formal constitution) in the governing of an Empire and, although we don't reach him, the shadow of Marius, and the reforms he will introduce that lead (almost) directly to the fall of the Republic, is felt as we approach the destruction of Carthage. The individual power of the Scipios is a forewarning of what may happen when there are no 'Cato the Censor's (his ancestor who faced Caesar was a mere shadow of the man who 'defeated' Scipio Africanus).
Overall, a thoroughly recommended book.

5.0 out of 5 stars History with a modern mind
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2000
One of the few enjoiable books that approach historical events under a technical perspective, in this case, analyzing the military strategies and tactics. Contrary of what one's could expect from this kind of approach, this book shows all the aspect of the society of Rome and Cartage at that time. The author in fact, takes in consideration and describes all the social factors that influences the military thinking of the great generals and the moral of the soldiers in the battlefields, which go from political to religious and superstitions. We have a feeling of what everyday life could have been at that time, which I think is one of the highest achievements an historical book could reach. The political events, the negotiations between the two opponents, and the various strategies are described and analyzed with a modern mind, which also helps to take off from those pages all the scholastic and academic feeling that we are used to deal with, when we explore our history. A wonderful book, enjoyable in the reading, yet detailed and sharp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent one volume account of the Punic Wars
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 1998
This book by Nigel Bagnall, a Field Marshal in the British Army, is one of the best books I have ever read covering Ancient military history. This book introduced me to the lifes and times of such great leaders as Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal and Scipio Africanus to name a few. The author presents a well researched account of the military struggle between Rome and Carthage and does it so well that the book is a joy to read. The book covers the First Punic War, 264-242 BC, the period between the wars (241 - 218 BC), the Second Punic War, 218 - 201 BC and the third and final Punic War between 149 - 148 BC which saw the destruction of Carthage as a power and as a city! A great book!!!!
