Richard Miles's Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of
Ancient Civilization charts one of the bloodiest dramas of the
Ancient World: the devastating struggle to the death between
Carthage and Rome. In an epic series of battles, the mighty empires
of Carthage and Rome vied for supremacy of the Mediterranean -
before the Carthaginians finally buckled and their great capital
city was razed to the ground, burning for six days and nights, its
inhabitants slaughtered or enslaved. Carthage Must Be Destroyed
tells the story of this lost empire - from its origins in Lebanon
to its apotheosis as the greatest sea-power of its age - and brings
to life legendary figures such as the military genius Hannibal, who
led his troops across the Alps and almost toppled Roman power, but
would ultimately lead his people to disaster. 'Splendid ... epic
