Lazenby books
#1
I recently came across J.F. Lazenby's two books on the Punic Wars. Are they good books? How are they from a military standpoint?<br>

Salve,<br>
<br>
Both <i> The first Punic war</i> and <i> Hannibal's war</i> are good books. They are annotated, which makes it easier to check any statements, and in my opinion these are to be preferred over Bagnall's <i> The Punic wars</i> or Peddie's <i> Hannibal's war</i>.<br>
<br>
Some publications on the Punic wars<br>

For more on the Punic wars see also the bibliography on the military history of the Roman state.<br>
