Gr 5-8--Two fact-filled biographies. Clearly written and concise, the books convey the nature of the times in which Hannibal and Julius Caesar lived and their personalities. The men's early years are mentioned, but the texts concentrate on their political and/or military contributions and actions. Both individuals were ruthless with their enemies, both were brilliant and bold military strategists, and both suffered violent deaths. Full-color and black-and-white photos, maps, and reproductions dramatize history-making moments in their lives. This is especially true in Hannibal, in terms of the pictures depicting the elephants crossing the Alps and employed in battle. A time line, index, and suggestions for further readings as well as Internet sites enhance the usefulness of these titles. Sound introductions to ancient times.
