An epic history of a doomed civilization and a lost empire. The devastating struggle to the death between the Carthaginians and the Romans was one of the defining dramas of the ancient world. In an epic series of land and sea battles, both sides came close to victory before the Carthaginians finally succumbed and their capital city, history, and culture were almost utterly erased.

Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Richard Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire-from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean. And at the heart of the history of Carthage lies the extraordinary figure of Hannibal-the scourge of Rome and one of the greatest military leaders, but a man who also unwittingly led his people to catastrophe. The first full-scale history of Carthage in decades, Carthage Must Be Destroyed reintroduces modern listeners to the larger-than-life historical players and the ancient glory of this almost forgotten civilization.

Wonderful effort in bringing to light the history of Carthage, as could be expected, sources are mainly from the victors…

The anglification of Latin names, using English long vowels where short ones are in order does feel awkward.

Excellent but…

I was always curious about Carthage. Couldn't fathom why a city state was obliterated. Maybe this book gave me a bit more than I wished for, but it was great. Thorough. Narrator was very good too.

Just what I was looking for

As much as I have read about Roman history, I have only learned about Carthage while studying about Rome. Everything has been derived. Thus, Carthage was typically presented in almost a stereotypical manner, juxtaposed as the proverbial villain against Rome. Miles did a good job in distilling Carthaginian history, much of which was passed to us through Roman bias.

It is amazing to consider what Phoenicia and Carthage did through their exploration and establishing trade routes. Reading that they made it to the West coast of Africa, and probably up the French coast is not surprising. But to accomplish what they did given their technology and tools is remarkable.

Its tragic end was somewhat anti-climatic, although everything we have of it is through a Roman lens. And I don't think Miles fully grasped Scipio Corculum's opposition to the war. He presented this as a possible addition by later generations who had experienced the Roman Civil Wars that broke out after the fall of Carthage. But many Roman's understood their history and had seen what had happened previously when an up-and-coming civilization had supplanted its rival and arrived on the pinnacle with no rivals. Athens (Persian Empire) and Sparta (Athens) both suffered in a breakdown of their society's and then of their country after having bested their nemesis. The parallel with the US and the USSR is unmistakable.

Great read and a great companion to Cline's 1177 B.C., both of which I recommend highly. - Hamilton of the Smokies

Great account of the Mediterranean's "Other" City

The writing and story are great, and the narrator has a great voice, but the terrible Latin pronunciation made my eye twitch.

Painfully poor Latin pronunciation

Great overall, smart and entertaining. You can tell the depth of research that went into writing this book. The writer makes it entertaining and easy to follow.

The well researched material

Having studied several ancient civilizations, this treatment of the Carthage goes beyond the traditional Greco-Roman accounts and was exactly what I was looking for on the subject. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of western civilization.

Fascinating Part of the Story!

This is a great story that she be told and heard again. Once in each season if a person had such a luxury.
Here the author and performer both do a great job. One thing that could be gleaned from this history is that Hannibal, as a General or Commander, comes out not quite so fantastic as his fame suggested, while Scipio Africanus it would seem was left somewhat underated.

Tenacious Carthage

I've gone through the story of the punic wars over and over again but this is the first I've heard the story from the carthaginian pov. Beyond that, the book gets into history you probably haven't heard about the carthaginians such as their Sicilian campaigns.

Very enjoyable and unique

this want my favorite groover Gardner performance because of some pronunciation issues, but his voice is perfect for audio books overall.

I really like Richard Miles presentation of Carthage. it's honest and deep. so many authors of books like this fall in love with their subject and cannot be critical of the failings of cultures or leaders. Miles sticks to the facts and presents Carthage in a relatable, human way. His presentation of the culture and how it for into the greater Greek and Latin world was very insightful, showing them in the truest way we can see in light of the limited sources. Impressive authorship!

Great book read by a great choice

Most people only know Carthaginian history via its intersection with Roman history. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to a focused history of this ancient superpower.

A good history of a usually sidelined subject
