An epic history of a doomed civilization and a lost empire.

The devastating struggle to the death between the Carthaginians and the Romans was one of the defining dramas of the ancient world. In an epic series of land and sea battles, both sides came close to victory before the Carthaginians finally succumbed and their capital city, history, and culture were almost utterly erased.

Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Richard Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire-from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean. And at the heart of the history of Carthage lies the extraordinary figure of Hannibal-the scourge of Rome and one of the greatest military leaders, but a man who also unwittingly led his people to catastrophe.

The first full-scale history of Carthage in decades, Carthage Must Be Destroyed reintroduces modern readers to the larger-than-life historical players and the ancient glory of this almost forgotten civilization.

读后感

“非洲征服者”西庇阿和汉尼拔很像:不但战术上借鉴，而且也把封建迷信引入战略意识。我开始觉得西庇阿更厉害，几次交手都打败汉尼拔。不过他和汉尼拔一样，不擅长政治斗争。正因如此，书写历史的罗马人才弱化西庇阿的存在感吧。 虽最终惨败，但汉尼拔在意大利半岛驻守的那十五...

在阅读罗马、希腊和亚历山大等历史故事时，都会涉及到迦太基，一个曾经的海洋强国，一个产生过军事天才汉尼拔的神秘国度，但其中的介绍大都是片段化的、断断续续的，而无法窥其全貌，正因为如此，反而激起我们一探究竟的欲望。 这本讲述了迦太基从建城、崛起，到殖民萨丁尼亚...  

Carthage Must be Destroyed 勇敢的腓尼基人踩着脚下的甲板驰骋于那未知的大海上， 聪颖的泰尔人坚定的踩在北非的沙地上， 忧伤的狄多在新的城市与埃涅阿斯生死一别， 饱含希望的迦太基人在岛屿间乘风破浪， 坚毅的罗马人已在悄声崛起， 水手的惨叫声显示着迦太基的落败， 汉尼...

would be better if there were more narrative momentum as well as less shadow boxing

布匿战争给予了罗马人丰厚的经济利益，同时早就了罗马人的民族性格。
