Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Alps of Hannibal, Vol. 1 of 2 I left aix on the 17th September with renewed impulse to a favourite theme, preposing for my daughter and myseif a week's absence from my family, that we might cross the Little St. Bernard and return 'by the 001 de la Seigne and the valley of Beaufort. The result was calamitous: I made my first and last descent into Italy in a state of serious illness: for nine weeks I lay within gunshot of the great preelplce, without a hope of contemplating it. To avoid being snowed up for the winter at Courmayeur, I was at last moved slowly down the valley to seek a more favouring climate. So began and so ended the chance of contributing by personal investigation to a know ledge of the disputed track.

Download or read book Hannibal s March Through the Alps Classic Reprint written by Spenser Wilkinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hannibal's March Through the Alps Before he acquired the friendship of the Scipio who afterwards became famous as the conqueror of Carthage in the third Punic War. Polybius had received the education of a statesman and a soldier, and his intimacy with Scipio led to his accompany ing that general in the campaigns against Carthage and against Numantia, in which it is believed that he rendered some service as an engineer. He wrote his history for the purpose Of explaining to his Greek countrymen how Rome had come to be the mistress Of the world. In pursuit of the information which he required he travelled widely, and in particular made the journey across the Alps in order to follow and to see for himself the route that had been taken by Hannibal. He says that he had had the opportunity of inquiring about the events of the march from men who had taken part in it. His residence in Rome began half a century after the march, and he was then between thirty-one and forty-one years old. He may very well have had the opportunity of dis cussing the events oi 218 with Carthaginians who had accompanied Hannibal, with Greek officers who had been on his staff, and with Romans who had taken part in the operations against him. As he wrote he had before him the accounts of earlier authors, some of whom were Roman, and one probably a Greek. In point of time he stood to the events of 218 as a man who was born in 1871 would stand to the Crimean War.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The March of Hannibal From the Rhone to the Alps Among the many sources of interest which engage our attention in passing through a foreign country, neither its economy, political and domestic, its natural curiosities, its scenery, nor its field sports, more powerfully attract the traveller, than the sight of places renowned in history as the scenes where great events have been transacted. The plains where battles have been fought - the fortresses where sieges have been undertaken - the mountain passes which armies have traversed, most forcibly arrest the attention, for such events form the materials of which the annals of the human race are principally composed.

Download or read book Hannibal s War written by John Francis Lazenby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannibal is acknowledged to be one of history's greatest generals, and his crossing of the Alps - complete with elephants - to make war against Rome on its home soil is legendary. But even Hannibal met his match in Scipio, and ultimately Carthage was defeated by the rising power of Rome. In Hannibal's War, J. F. Lazenby provides the first scholarly account in English since 1886 solely devoted to the Second Punic War - what some have called the first "world war" for mastery of the Mediterranean world. By closely examining the accounts of Livy and Polybius, supplemented with the fruits of modern research, Lazenby provides a detailed military history of the entire war as it was fought in Italy, Spain, Greece, and North Africa. This edition includes a new preface covering recent research on Hannibal's war against Rome.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extracts From Livy, Vol. 2: Edited With English Notes and Maps; Hannibal's Campaign in Italy But it is not only the distance of ages which lends this grand enchanting simplicity to the second Punic War; the forces called into play, the stage, the number of characters employed in the drama of ancient warfare. Have an unity about them which of necessity helps to concentrate our interest. If Hannibal's great effort had been spread over Europe like Napoleon's; if Rome and Carthage had met as rarely single-handed on the same element as France and England; if, besides the one great general, we had had to follow the fortunes of a Massena and a Murat, a Lannes and a Desaix, or to estimate the comparative shares which a Moltke and a Bismarck had in bringing on the situation; the story of Hannibal would not be what it is. It might have had a different sequel, but Hannibal would not stand out as he does. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
