Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization

Description

The first full-scale history of Hannibal’s Carthage in decades and “a resounding and enthralling narrative.” (The Economist )

Drawing on a wealth of recent analysis, archaeologist, historian, and master storyteller Richard Miles resurrects the civilization that ancient Rome struggled so mightily to expunge. This enormous work charts the entirety of Carthage’s history, from its origins a few of the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as a Mediterranean empire whose epic land-and-sea clash with Rome made a legend of Hannibal and formed the course of Western history. Carthage Will have to Be Destroyed reintroduces readers to the traditional glory of a lost other people and their generations-long struggle in opposition to an implacable enemy.
