Richard Miles teaches ancient history at the University of Sydney and is a Fellow-Commoner of Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. He has written widely on Punic, Roman, and Vandal North Africa and has directed archaeological excavations in Carthage and Rome. He divides his time between Sydney, Australia, and Cambridge, England.
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.

“非洲徵服者”西庇阿和漢尼拔很像:不但戰術上藉鑒,而且也把封建迷信引入戰略意識。我開始覺得西庇阿更厲害,幾次交手都打敗漢尼拔。不過他和漢尼拔一樣,不擅長政治鬥爭。正因如此,書寫曆史的羅馬人纔弱化西庇阿的存在感吧。 雖最終慘敗,但漢尼拔在意大利半島駐守的那十五...

評分布匿戰爭給予瞭羅馬人豐厚的經濟利益,同時早就瞭羅馬人的民族性格。
評分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。
