  B.H. Liddell Hart wrote a work that has stood the test of nearly one hundred years. It remains THE definitive work on Publius Scipio The Younger. Regrettably we learn too often of the vain and the warmongers in our history books - the Alexanders, the Napoleons and the Caesars - while the truly great and humble heroes are lost to us. Such a man was Scipio, whose behavior off the battlefield was as instructive as his martial genius on the battlefield. Yes the language herein is a bit dated and the author makes small attempt to hide his passion for the subject, but that does not take away from the seminal nature of this work. Buy two copies, one for yourself, one to give as a gift. And once complete, please read a history on General Flavius Belisarius - a kindred spirit to Scipio Africanus.
