In the years that followed, Hannibal led the Carthaginian war on Rome through some of the most brutal and costly battles in recorded history. <p/> In this richly detailed biography, Ernle Bradford tells the story of a great leader whose military strategies have been studied and copied by commanders throughout history, from his own Roman enemies to Napoleon Bonaparte. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernle Bradford was born in 1922 and died in 1986.
