willchristophersander's review against another edition
4.0
A good and well flowing account of the battle with plenty surprising connections to the modern day, as well as a well constructed and memorable analysis.
I reccomend one has rudimentary knowlege of Rome to get a good use of this book. A good knowlege of German geography, which this reviewer lacked, gives a good context to the novel.
Importantly you do not need to love rome greatly to find importance in reading this, but those familiar with Roman history will benefit more greatly.
