Punic Wars

Rome, Carthage and the Struggle for the Mediterranean

«His book is to be commended...It is a fine piece of military and political history...a clear and convincing account of what happened, devoid of any high-flown romanticism...He constructs his analysis in such a way as to demonstrate that what happened...might just happen again»

Economist

The Punic Wars (264-146BC) sprang from a mighty power struggle between two ancient civilisations - the trading empire of Carthage and the military confedoration of Rome. It was a period of astonishing human misfortune, lasting over a period of 118 years and resulting in the radical depletion of Rome's population and resources and the complete annihilation of Carthage.

All this took place more than 2,000 years ago, yet, as Nigel Bagnall's comprehensive history demonstrates, the ancient conflict is remarkable for its contemporary revelance.

Economist

«A modern Field-Marshal applies his strategic expertise to the greatest confrontation of classical times... Bagnall's analysis is leavened with character sketches and dry humour»

Independent

«A serious and well-informed book on the wars between Rome and Carthage...it is, however, not simply a piece of disinterested research but a tale with a moral for current politics...On the interplay of strategic and operational decisions, on the risks of politics in time of war, on the importance of morale: this book gives much food for reflection»

Kunders vurdering

Vindskrift – 31.05.2010

– Denne boka, skrevet av Nigel Bagnall, er en beskrivelse av de såkalte punerkrigene som utspilte seg mellom handelsstaten Kartago og det som da var et av verdens største imperier, Romerriket. Boka er delt opp i flere deler og kapitler, noe som gjør det lett å finne frem til et avsnittet eller utdraget man ønsker å lese. For meg var boka til god hjelp, ettersom jeg hadde planer om å skrive en lengre tekst om nettopp dette temaet. Dette var den eneste boka jeg trengte for å få til akkurat dette. Dette er boka for den som er interessert i å lære mer om Punerkrigene, Hannibal og Romas rolle i krigene.
