"Hannibal's Lieutenant" is a well-researched biography of the brilliant Hannibal as seen through the eyes of an interesting fictional officer. It retains a close fidelity to known facts about the life of one of the finest generals the world has ever known, but it reads like a historical novel because his life was stranger & more interesting than fiction. It recreates the amazing 64-year life & times of this military genius, charismatic leader, efficient public administrator, & great champion of democracy. Most of what we know about Hannibal was written by his enemies 2,000 years ago. Their writings show a grudging admiration for the brilliant Hannibal, but they are oriented from the Roman perspective, with prejudices of his bitter enemies. "Hannibal's Lieutenant" interprets the fascinating facts & situations as Hannibal & his supporters would have seen them, with their own prejudices. Political enemies in Carthage, more than Roman soldiers in Italy, were responsible for his failure to defeat Rome. Hannibal became a victim of political gridlock & inaction by incompetent politicians in Carthage. Hannibal's army killed more Roman soldiers in one day's fighting at Cannae (70,000) than all of the U.S. soldiers killed in twelve year's fighting in Vietnam (58,000).
