The world often misunderstands its greatest men while neglecting others entirely. Scipio Africanus, surely the greatest general that Rome produced, suffered both these fates. Today scholars celebrate the importance of Hannibal, even though Scipio defeated the legendary general in the Second Punic War and was the central military figure of his time. In this scholarly and heretofore unmatched military biography of the distinguished Roman soldier, Richard A. Gabriel establishes Scipio’s rightful place in military history as the greater of the two generals.

 

Before Scipio, few Romans would have dreamed of empire, and Scipio

Scipio Africanus: Rome's Greatest General by Richard A. Gabriel Book Review

Name: Hungry-4-the-Word
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Highly Readable, Highly Enlightening!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016
Review: I so enjoyed this book. As a former Israeli Army infantry solider, I think twice before reading books of a military nature, having been convinced through my own experience that nothing other than the battle field itself...particularly its topography and other features unique to it...can explain the way a battle unfolds. The problem with too many military histories is the failure of a book format in recreating the battle field...even with the help of diagrams. Because of his skillful use of prose, Gabriel overcomes this common difficulty. He deftly brings the attending circumstances of each battle into focus, with the help of simple, yet helpful diagrams, in addition to his highly readable prose.

Although the story of the Rome and her wars has been told so many times, there were so many little gems that I encountered for the first time. For example, although I thought I was familiar with the consular system of two governing consuls, I did not know that in battle, they alternated command between them every other day. That is just one of several fresh insights I got in the chapter on the nature of each side's armies. The closing section of that same chapter on the daily logistical requirements of the army and its pack/draft animals was also enlightening, and helped me understand more than ever why ancient armies required winter quarters, until the fields produced this much needed fodder again in the spring.

Additional pluses to this volume are Gabriel's judgement with regard to primary sources, neither entirely trusting them, nor entirely dismissing them, but falling somewhere in the sober middle ground. When a source's report seems doubtful, he offers several likely alternative scenarios, all of which are reasonably and convincingly argued. In addition to presenting the battles themselves, Gabriel does a great job presenting the political considerations of both Rome and Carthage throughout the war, as well as the internal intrigues, particularly between competing factions within the Roman aristocratic led senate. Although the author obviously admires Scipio, he presents a balanced image of him, including his strategic errors, such as his wasted siege of Utica on the African campaign, and his brutal putting down of Spanish insurgents. Consequently, his portrait of Scipio seems judicious. If at times it sounds amazing, it is not because of the author's own embellishments, but because the man, Scipio, seems to have been truly one of those rare individuals to attain to complete leadership skill set that is usually not found in one person. Within this context, Gabriel stresses that all the great generals of history were men who had undergone the best intellectual training/education that their times and cultures could provide them. That ultimately, only a fine-tuned intellect, distinguished by linear thinking---the ability to imagine the likely cause and effect of every possible scenario---in addition to daring, and the willingness to gamble, is what coverages in all great field commanders.

I can't believe someone gave this book only one star! This book was such a pleasure to read, that I will likely read it again sometime in the future!

Title: A very good piece of schlolarship.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
Review: Richard Gabriel does a fine job with this biography on Scipio. Bear in mind that the author is forced to rely heavily on Polybius as very few other accounts of Scipio and his campaigns survive to the present day. The book flows chronologically from Scipio's early career likely fighting at Cannae to his campaigns in Spain and Africa. The final sections outline the general's life after the Battle of Zama and his return to civilian/political life.

Gabriel's book is the first biographical piece the Scipio Africanus in decades, and I would argue it is one of the better ones. The author is thorough almost to a fault, and he is possessed of a military mind. (Gabriel served the army, and it comes through in his writing.) He can appreciate the campaigns and battles from both a tactical and strategic viewpoint. Moreover, the author does not neglect the non-military aspects of Scipio's life or make his subject completely one-dimensional.

While I do not always agree of with the author's interpretation of certain events or the primary texts, Richard Gabriel has certainly supported his points. I would recommend this book to anyone with an keen interest in Rome, Hannibal, and the Punic Wars.

Title: The best out there
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018
Review: Gabriel is former military, therefore will provide you with information other authors would never think of. Covered in details are: the logistical demands of an army, how much it could cover in a day, the size of the baggage train and the importance of intelligence. He explains why Hannibal defeated other Roman generals, but failed with Scipio. You want to understand warfare, go to Gabriel. Forget the other authors as they only explain what happened, Gabriel tells you why it happened.

Title: Detailed, Readable, Everyman's Book on one of the Greatest Generals in World History
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2021
Review: Have thoroughly enjoyed reading this extremely readable, page-turned of a tome on Scipio Africanus. So often in Roman and Ancient History so-called minor figures, who had a tremendous influence on events and the course of history. The author, who obviously has great respect for his subject, does an excellent job in weaving the military, tactical, and strategic elements of Scipio's generalship and does so in an "everyman" manner, where the novice to the subject, as well as the scholar on Roman history, would enjoy his work.

Would have liked more background on the politics of Roman and Carthage at the time of the Second Punic War and ultimately what brought Scipio down, but that might have made the book more dense and convoluted and taken away from a greater appreciation of a man who was more than Hannibal's equal, but most likely rivaled Caesar's generalship as well. 4.75 Stars!
