About This Item
London / New York: Routledge, 2002. Hardcover. Near Fine (light wear to boards w/ light rub/crinkle to spine top. dustjacket has edge-wear, light rubbing). black boards w/ silver spine printing. 253 pgs. illustrated & red dustjacket. A nice, bright copy; appears unread. "Cannae: The Experience of Battle in the Second Punic War considers what led the two armies to fight that day, and why they adopted the tactics they did. It explores in detail the composition of the armies, both the Roman militia and their Italian allies on one side, and Hannibal's multinational horde of mercenaries and subject and allied levies on the other. It examines how the opposing generals planned their tactics and led their men, and finally it focuses on the experience of battle. Skirmishing, cavalry and infantry combat, and the final encirclement and annihilation of the Roman forces are all considered. Special attention is paid to what it was actually like to be there, and why men fought in such horrific conditions."--WorldCat.
