A really fun read of the Barcids if anyone's interested. Also the author seems to know what his talking about and likes sharing his opinion and argument it. A quick example; in most books it's mentioned how Hannibal not attacking Rome after Cannae can be excused, while Hoyos believes this to be a big mistake and serious miscalculation on Hannibals part.
Also read Carthage must be Destroyed by Miles; quite a nice book as well, but really more of an overview then anything too detailed.
Thanks for the info, I read few chapters and I like the book
I found an interesting book, which is on my wishlist now, called Commagene: The Land of Gods between Taurus and Euphrates by M. Blomer and E. Winter.
