Carthage Must Be Destroyed

Work:: Carthage Must Be Destroyed (S768800515)

50 years after the ravages of Hannibal, the Roman Republic is doing well. That is, fine. Taxes have risen and there doesn't seem to be as much money around for wine, villas and boys with good complexions. The Senate is under pressure to make Rome rich again. Consul Cato is a practical man and knows Carthage is the solution. If the Senate hears a clamour of voices against the old enemy, order could be restored. Carthage has too much money. Carthage is stockpiling weapons. Carthage is a threat to Rome. Delenda est Carthago - Carthage Must Be Destroyed! Cato thinks Senator Gregor is just the man to put the wheels into motion. He's practiced in the art of having just enough power to guarantee privilege without ever having so much that it brings responsibility. Gregor is about to encounter the sharp end of politics... Set against the backdrop of the Third Punic War, Alan Wilkins' Carthage Must Be Destroyed is a compelling story of political intrigue, double dealing and the ruthless realities of taking a nation to war.
