图书描述

A stirring account of the most influential battle in history

For millennia, Carthage’s triumph over Rome at Cannae in 216 B.C. has inspired reverence and awe. It was the battle that countless armies tried to imitate, most notably in World Wars I and II, the battle that obsessed legendary military minds. Yet no general ever matched Hannibal’s most unexpected, innovative, and brutal military victory—the costliest day of combat for any army in history. Robert L. O’Connell, one of the most admired names in military history, now tells the whole story of Cannae for the first time, giving us a stirring account of this apocalyptic battle of the Second Punic War, and its causes and consequences.

O’Connell shows how a restive Rome amassed a giant army to punish Carthage’s masterful commander, who had dealt them deadly blows at Trebia and Lake Trasimene, and how Hannibal outwitted enemies that outnumbered him. O’Connell describes Hannibal’s strategy of blinding his opponents with sun and dust, enveloping them in a deadly embrace and sealing their escape, before launching a massive knife fight that would kill 48,000 men in close contact. The Ghosts of Cannae then brilliantly conveys how this disastrous pivot point in Rome’s history ultimately led to the republic’s resurgence and the creation of its empire.

Piecing together decayed shreds of ancient reportage, the author paints powerful portraits of the leading players: Hannibal, resolutely sane and uncannily strategic; Varro, Rome’s co-consul who was so scapegoated for the loss; and Scipio Africanus, the surviving (and self-promoting) Roman military tribune who would one day pay back Hannibal at Zama in North Africa. Finally, O’Connell reveals how Cannae’s legend has inspired and haunted military leaders ever since, and the lessons it teaches for our own wars.

Superbly researched and written with wit and erudition, The Ghosts of Cannae is the definitive account of a battle whose history continues to resonate.

这应该是我看过的描写布匿战争的几本书里最好的了(读书少,别笑)。波利比乌斯的《通史》(甲骨文版的叫《罗马帝国的崛起》)太硬了,属于资料性质的,没有解读分析,看完之后其实云里雾里的。《迦太基必须毁灭》重点在于腓尼基——迦太基的民族史,各种考古学,社会学,神话...

军事爱好者想必对特拉法尔加战役、滑铁卢战役、斯大林格勒保卫战、阿登战役如数家珍,它们或多或少构成了我们对战争的认识,关于战争的惨烈、战争在地缘政治中扮演的作用,以及战争本身的变幻莫测。不过,相形之下,发生在迦太基和罗马之间的坎尼战役,则似乎不那么人所共知,...
