While punished, the power of the legions has not been broken. The road to Rome is still barred to Pyrrhus. His peace terms are again rejected. He must gather greater strength to break the deadlock, and accepts the invitation of the powerful Greek cities in Sicily to lead them against the invading Carthaginians. In return, they offer him their support in his war against Rome. Pyrrhus was described by Hannibal as the finest commander the world had seen, after Alexander himself. \u003cem\u003e\"Writing with great style, Dr. Crouch brings this ancient age to life once more, maintaining an expert balance between historical accuracy and creative imagination. Dr. Crouch succeeds splendidly in conveying a compelling interpretation of the lives and loves, the achievements and aspirations of great men in a great age.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Eoghan Maloney, lecturer in ancient history, University of Adelaide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIan Crouch is a medical practitioner in Adelaide, South Australia.
