Richard Miles teaches ancient history at the University of Sydney and is a Fellow-Commoner of Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge.

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.

得到聽書: 首先介紹瞭迦太基的曆史淵源和來龍去脈。迦太基是一個由腓尼基人建立起來的商業城邦,它在兩韆多年前就達到瞭高度繁榮的程度。但也是因為商業擴張,它占據瞭西西裏島,從而也就捲入瞭跟羅馬的霸權爭奪中。 接著我們說瞭三次布匿戰爭的來龍去脈。第一次布匿戰爭發生於...
評分我看書比較粗疏,掛一漏萬是必然的,歡迎商榷 1、p.185 “戴奧尼索斯……成功地使自己登上瞭敘拉古獨裁者的寶座”。 原文是“managed to establish himself as tyrant of Syracuse”,事實上譯者不止一次把“tyrant”譯成瞭獨裁者,而準確的說法是“僭主”。(有趣的是第498頁...
評分這本《迦太基必須毀滅》雖然很感興趣,但是拖拖拉拉看瞭兩周纔看完,很是汗顔。當初猶豫著先看這本還是波裏比阿的《羅馬帝國的崛起》,結果查閱資料發現迦太基建城更早就選瞭這部,結果發現作者引用瞭無數波利比烏斯在《曆史》(即《羅馬帝國的崛起》)裏麵的話,早知道真應該...
評分既然這本書講述迦太基與羅馬的戰爭,不可避免要對漢尼拔大書特書。 要對付一個人,需要摧毀他的名聲。十九世紀,英國旅行傢楊赫斯本在拜訪瞭剋什米爾地區的罕薩之後,稱該國的米爾·薩夫達爾汗王公是“一個徒有其錶的人渣,配不上那麼好的罕薩人民”。不久後,1891年,英國齣兵...
評分評論裏麵齣現瞭一些惡意評論,比如諸如“ 死媽的崽種譯者,gou奴纔說的就是你吧。。。 ” 和“”孟馳,大傢都懂的“的惡意評論。我想說的是作為一個愛讀書的人,不管多瞭多少書,這麼罵作者那就是書讀到狗肚子裏去瞭。另外我想說的是,孟馳最近因為反港獨的事情被不少國內的恨...

這兩年讀瞭很多與古羅馬相關的書,布匿戰爭,特別是漢尼拔,使我對迦太基這個文明古國產生瞭濃厚的興趣。《迦太基必須毀滅》完美地解決瞭我的好奇心。 迦太基是個殖民國傢,先人腓尼基人長於海上貿易。因不堪亞述人的欺淩,大批嚮西移民到中西地中海,並在北非建立獨立的國傢──迦太基。與羅馬帝國霸權擴張時期同時代的國傢可能都有同樣的悲哀:既生瑜何生亮!迦太基也不例外。隨著羅馬的崛起,這個曾經稱霸中西地中海的文明古國,經過三次布匿戰爭,歷時走過一百五十年,終於被羅馬夷為平地。即使有漢尼拔那樣不世齣的統帥,也最終無法挽迴第二次布匿戰爭的完敗。而在大加圖一句“Carthage must be destroyed”之後的第三次布匿戰爭中,迦太基被徹底的抹去瞭。
評分would be better if there were more narrative momentum as well as less shadow boxing
