"This book; "Scipio Africanus: Greater than Napoleon", by Liddell Hart was first published in 1926 and the years have not condemned it to the forgotten back shelves of a library. This is a great history, although I take exception to the subtitle - Greater than Napoleon being an ardent fan of that great General! This is a story well told, with verve and passion and it is hard to put down.
I loved this book when I first read it in 1992 upon its first re-release and its been reprinted numerous times since. You might not agree with the author in some of the cases he makes for Scipio Africanus, I still think that Hannibal was the better commander but I still enjoyed this book. I would happily recommend it to anyone who loves a good tale of great commanders and leaders in the times of the Legions.
A recent title covering the same subject was "Scipio Africanus: Rome's Greatest General" by Richard A. Gabriel (ISBN 9781597972055). Although the research is obviously more up to date I still found Liddell Hart's account the better story, you decide!"
"Pretty much exactly what you expect. Well written, and good descriptions of Scipio's battle tactics. A little too congratulatory...then again, we are talking about the greatest general in Roman history (other than Caesar)."
"If you have any interest in Roman History, or military history, this is a must read. While Liddell Hart has been questioned for his lack of depth by not delving into the German and Italian writings on Scipio, he still provides a detailed and thoroughly interesting portrait of one of the greatest generals and statesmen of all time."
