Goldsworthy has a good modern look at this battle. Likewise

“The Ghosts of Cannae” is a good book on the aftermath by O’Connel
Thanks KC Burke. I have his biographies of Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar. I’ll have to check that one out. Goldsworthy seems to be becoming the best know scholar and author of Rome producing works that people are actually reading.
I think the classic saying is that to win a battle like Cannae, you needed a genius like Hannibal, and moron like Varro.
