With Cannae: The Experience of Battle in the Second Punic War, Gregory Daly forges one of the most comprehensive analytical studies of the battle ever attempted. Drawing on ancient and modern source material, Daly crafts an account of the battle that explores in detail the field armies arrayed against one another at Cannae....Daly presents a refreshingly comprehensive analysis and brings facts and refeerences into a single volume worthy of any bookshelf dedicated to warfare in the classical world.

Book Description

Gregory Daly's enthralling study considers the reasons that led the two armies to the field of battle, and why each followed the course that they did when they got there. It explores in detail the composition of the armies, and the tactics and leadership methods of the opposing generals. Finally, by focusing on the experiences of those who fought, Daly gives an unparalleled portrait of the true horror and chaos of ancient warfare.
