Product Description
ONE MAN'S STAND AGAINST THE MIGHT OF ROME.
From the Sunday Times bestseller comes a gripping retelling of Hannibal's greatest trial - the battle of Cannae.
Cannae, 216 BC - Under a blisteringly hot sun, Hannibal Barca, perhaps the most skilful general in history, leads his army against the unstoppable might of Rome. His soldiers are outnumbered two to one.
The momentous battle will determine the Roman Republic's fate.
By the day's end, tens of thousands of men will be dead, the ground saturated in blood. Can Hannibal's army defeat the Roman legions, or will the challenge for the great general prove too much?
Recounted by soldiers on both sides, Ben Kane's historical epic Cannae brings the ancient battle to life as never before. Its cinematic, edge-of-the-seat action will drag readers into the midst of the fear, madness and brutality of Cannae, one of the bloodiest and most-studied battles in history.
