Carthage must be destroyed

One of the few books looking at the Punic Wars from the perspective of Carthage instead of the Romans. As well as being an account "from the other side", and taking a more balanced view of the Roman sources (which, alas, we have to rely upon due to their being very little surviving from the Carthaginians), the author has compiled a comprehensive bibliography which is a good starting point for anyone wanting to delve into the period in more depth. This book, combined with Goldsworthy's The Fall of Carthage, will give the general reader an overview of the three wars, with little left out.
