The Fall Of Carthage by Adrian Goldsworthy
The Punic Wars 264–146 BC
A brisk, accessible account of the long struggle between Rome and Carthage, tracing the rise of Carthaginian maritime commerce, the political and military rivalry across the three Punic Wars, Hannibal’s audacious campaigns in Italy and Rome’s eventual strategic response under Scipio, culminating in Carthage’s destruction in 146 BC. It combines narrative military history with political, economic and cultural analysis to explain how leadership, strategic choices and institutional differences produced Rome’s victory and reshaped the Mediterranean world.
