Ah, got confused by "focusing upon individual commanders" 
Thought you meant one book focussing on several commanders.
There are several books about Scipio Africanus already.
- Scipio Africanus, by Alexander Acimovic
- Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon, by B.H. Liddell Hart
Haven't read them though, so don't know if they're any good.
Found one about Sertorius too,
Quintus Sertorius and the Legacy of Sulla, by Philip O. Spann.
Looks like it's really hard to get though, there's only 1 used copy available at Amazon, for 318 pounds
hock:
Just search on Amazon for the names of the generals, there're a lot more books about Roman generals than you'd expect :wink:
I think that biographies of most (all?) generals about whom enough is known already exist.
