Punic battles

Same military history, it was difficult to stop listening to this audiobook down once you start listening. I required more detail about Cannae so I also bought his audiobook on that battle- also wonderful with great research.

Really good

Fantastic audiobook. Well written and clear to understand. This audiobook will stay as my reference for Punic wars. Though I wanted more the previous title "The Punic Wars".

Popular History

This is the absolutely necessary stuff that any student of history or Rome buff must grasp. Therefore, it is one of the basic guides that will stand as a classic in my opinion. I present it 4 stars only because of its unusual dryness as a brief event.

History of the Punic Wars

I loved this audiobook a lot for doing work and learning history at the same time. The storyteller is very good but the survey is a bit dull.

Excellent narrative on Ancient war

Is it not a strange thing when we understand the paucity of stuff about, arguably, the greatest battle of the ancient world that we have only one side's account because the victors, the Romans, killed everything concerning the Carthaginians after their loss in the third war.
