Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Punic Wars, then pay attention....

The Punic Wars between 264 BCE and 146 BCE were a series of wars fought between the armies of ancient Carthage and Rome. In the years before the battles broke out, Carthage had risen from a small port community to the Mediterranean region's richest and most powerful city. Carthage had a powerful navy, a mercenary army, and ample resources to act as an authority in trade and politics. As such, Carthage prohibited Roman trade in the Western Mediterranean through an agreement with what was then just a small city called Rome. Without an organized military, Rome had little choice but to abide by the treaty.

As history shows, however, Rome didn’t stay small and insignificant for long. As its size and power grew, so, too, did Rome’s desire to fight back against its Carthaginian oppressors: so followed the three Punic Wars. At the start of the conflict, Carthage dominated the Mediterranean. By the end of the wars, Rome had not only conquered Carthage, but had become the strongest society in the Western Mediterranean. It was a formative period for the Roman Republic and one that would eventually lead Rome to form its own empire.

TWO GREAT POWERS

This audible was the first of two works by author, who had been a field marshal in the British Army to which this audible is dedicated

Great job....

The late Field author has done something in this audible that is unique in my listening experience.

Excellent work

I liked this audible, but they would've edited the thing a little better. I found lots of places where a comma was needed for clarity. Perhaps it's his style.

Good job

These are only a few examples of the author's ethnic worship.There as many other examples throughout the audible. If the Romans truly were as undefeated as the author tries to have us imagine then they would never have gone down in history as a great empire.

stupendous work

Splendid history with direct applicability to modern times.
