Vanquished
Battles of annihilation are rare, but a stunning victory on the battlefield has the potential to change history. Some argue that it is not possible to completely destroy the enemy, although history suggests otherwise. The battle of Cannae in 216 BC, where Hannibal destroyed an entire Roman army, has inspired generations of military thinkers to attempt to imitate this feat. In Vanquished, Mir Bahmanyar examines battles of annihilation throughout history to discover what sets these engagements apart, whether they achieve a decisive strategic advantage, and why there are fewer battles of annihilation in modern times. Illustrated with maps, schematics and illustrations, Vanquished takes a fascinating look at combat from a unique angle.
