It's in Norwegian, so you couldn't understand it anyway. It says that Hannibal lost at Zama in 202bc, and that Carthage had to accept harsh terms afterwards.

It also says that the Carthaginian army was mostly composed of mercenaries, elephants were trained for battle, cavalry were brought from Numidia, and that warriors like the one striking at the crouching hastatus in red were brought from Gaul.

Below it says that Hannibal was a great general and leader, and took 30,000 men and elephants over the Alps.

but yes, It is amazing how some books outside acadamia proper can get it right. then again, this is Dorling Kindersly-those guys make excellent books. The more interesting point is that they deliver very good results for their size too, usually under 200 pages if you are talking about the yewitness account series.

I had quite a collection at my old home in Kuwait-the one on the American revolution got me a job at kronoskaf (they had a coat of a british officer in the seven years war.
