Mastering the West: Rome and Carthage at War (Dexter Hoyos)

On reflection, my assessment of Carthage Must Be Destroyed has cooled; Luckily, my second attempt at the material was this book, which I quite enjoyed. This one covers covers the dispute between Rome and Carthage starting with the Mamertines in Sicily asking both cities for help down through Carthage being razed to the ground (spoiler alert). Parts of the military history can be slightly dry, but that's really my only complaint; in general this is an excellent history of the entire conflict.
