Hardcover. First Edition. Tan octavo with gilt spine title; 299 pages: illustrations, maps; 23 cm. "'A greater than Napoleon.' Thus one of our great military experts, Captain (now Sir Basil) Liddell Hart, acclaimed Scipio in 1926. Whether or not all would agree that Hannibal's conqueror should be placed so high in the military pantheon, such a judgment at least underlines Scipio's historical importance as a soldier. [.] It seemed to me to be worthwhile to attempt a general account of his whole career." --Preface. // 265-30 B.C, Baecula Schlacht, Baecula Schlacht (208 v.
