The Ghosts of Cannae

The book delves into Hannibal's mindset during Cannae, but I'm curious about what led the author to explore this angle so deeply. Did personal interest or historical sources influence this choice?

The vivid depiction of tactics and terrain really pulled me into the past. Was this level of detail typical for the author, or did it evolve during research?

There are many stories within the larger narrative, but the focus on certain individuals added depth. I wonder what guided those choices in storytelling.
