Black Days
Michael Sommer
Summer, 216 B.C. In a strategic coup, Hannibal the Carthaginian has crossed the Alps and decimated Roman troops in a series of battles. Do the Romans now face another catastrophe, a black day? But after the last battle of the Punic Wars is fought, Carthage lies in ruins and Rome begins its rise to become the centre of a global empire.
In this book, Spiegel Bestseller author Michael Sommer provides an exciting and informative overview of the Punic Wars. He gives a knowledgeable account of the background to the wars and introduces the protagonists and their motives during the different phases of the conflict. He explains why Rome and the Mediterranean world entered a period of critical acceleration in 264 B.C. and why Rome ultimately emerged triumphant while Carthage was destroyed.
