Book review

'On a windswept and desolate hill," writes John Prevas in Hannibal's
Oath, near the tiny port of Gebze about 40 miles east of Istanbul,
lies what is thought to be the grave of the greatest general of the
ancient world. Hannibal Barca never claimed that title for himself -
he would have awarded it to Alexander the Great, who, like himself,
was the product of a powerful father and who, like Alexander, thought
himself a Homeric hero - but his victories, most notably crossing the
Alps to surprise Rome with an attack from the north, live on as among
the greatest in military history.
