Description
|
|
|
|
Which was the most brilliant of Hannibal's three crushing defeats of Roman armies? What tactics did Julius Caesar employ to defeat Pompey at Pharsalus? How was Alexander the Great able to command sufficient loyalty from his troops to lead them across half of the Asian landmass in search of new territories to conquer? This chronological survey profiles the greatest commanders of the ancient world, from Julius Caesar to Judas Maccabeus, Sun Tzu to Scipio Africanus, and Thucydides to Trajan, with entries by such contributors as Robin Lane Fox, Tom Holland, and John Julius Norwich.
