A Greater Than Napoleon: Scipio Africanus | Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart

1 post | 1 read

Scipio Africanus (236-183 b.c.) was one of the most exciting and dynamic leaders in history. As commander, he never lost a battle. Yet it is his adversary, Hannibal, who has lived on in public memory. As B.H. Liddell Hart writes, "Scipio's battles are richer in stratagems and ruses--many still feasible today--than those of any other commander in history." Any military enthusiast or historian will find this to be an absorbing, gripping portrait.

A Greater Than Napoleon: Scipio Africanus | Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart

pick

An interesting book that makes a good case that scipio was the greatest military commander of all time. He is enamored of Scipio‘s integrity and felt that it did him harm politically. He is able to make a good case with an economy of words that is great for people that want to learn about something but not become an expert. I recommend it because it‘s made me think about things that are as relevant today as they were then.
