From one of the most brilliant military historians of our time, this is the classic biography of Rome's greatest general and the victor over Rome's greatest enemy, Hannibal.

Scipio Africanus (236-183 BC) was one of the most exciting and dynamic leaders in history. As commander, he never lost a battle. Yet it is his adversary, Hannibal, who has lived on in public memory. As B. H. Liddell Hart writes, "Scipio's battles are richer in stratagems and ruses - many still feasible today - than those of any other commander in history." Any military enthusiast or historian will find this to be an absorbing, gripping portrait.

In a lifetime of reading history, I’ve run across the ideas and observations of Basil Henry Liddell Hart more times than I can remember. But until now, I’ve never read one of his books. Now that I finally have, I want more.

Usually, when a historian seeks to retrieve the reputation of a neglected figure, they do so at the expense of the figures who overshadow their subject. Instead, Liddell Hart’s brilliant appreciation of Scipio is as even-handed as the mind of the great Roman himself. Everyone, from Alexander, Hannibal, and Julius Caesar to Marlboro and Wellington, get their just desserts. There are no cheap shots here. Nevertheless, when placed in the long perspective of military history (something Liddell Hart does with penetrating insight), Scipio stands supreme. His grasp of strategy embraced diplomacy, psychology, and morality -- because his ultimate aim was a lasting peace.

Liddell Hart’s prose is as balanced and well-wrought as the judgements it expresses, accentuated by Derek Perkins’ intelligent, well-paced delivery.

The Aim of War is Peace

B.H. Liddell Hart was a veteran of WWI and became a thought leader in military studies.
In this book Hart lays out his argument that Scipio Africanus stands above all others in military history as a great commander. I found his argument compelling and would recommend to anyone interested in military and Roman history.

An argument for the greatest Military Captain in history.

I went into listening to this knowing nothing about Scipio Africanus, so in that sense I think this is an excellent primer on the man and his campaigns. I'm just a little leery of totally buying into the notion that he was maybe the greatest military general of all time. Just too few sources (in some cases only one) to make that case convincingly. Having said that, this is a short review of a little-known and excellent military leader, as long as you can overlook the massacre and plunder of ancient military campaigns (as well as the 'why'?).

Interesting but conjecture

Critically important study and argument of one of history’s most innovative and judicious generals. Only thing marring there book is it’s overly argumentative style - Liddell Hart loves Scorpio & wants you to know why his detractors are wrong. So it reads more like a lawyer’s argument than a careful study. Sorry, but you will also need to read more to get a balanced picture.

Essential reading on civil/military relations

Thankful this audible exists. Liddell Hart does a great job painting Scipio’s person. Wish we knew more about his upbringing.

Grand

B. H. Liddell Hart was one of Britain’s finest military minds, and his work, Strategy, remains required reading for any student of the subject. This study of Scipio is superb, and is a wonderfully glowing biography of an all-too-often neglected hero of the Roman Republic.

Fun and quick biography of one of history’s greatest generals by one of the 20th century’s keenest military analysts.

I recommend to read the life of Annibal since both generals life's are parallel

Excellent

Famed historian BL Hart analyzed one of the greatest leaders in history and shows Scipio as a true military genius.

Very interesting history

Before this book provides much needed light on a major historical figure that has not recieved much time in the light

Ave Scipio!
